Default Me too

I had a similar problem with my car when I set it up. I think the dry method of setting floats can only be used as a starting point. I found mine to vary a similar amount. Like you, I took the covers off and tweaked the levels to where they were all the same. Made a similar tool as what you have.

I check levels by using a visual gauge that inserts into the main jet well. I remove the main jet, and insert the plastic gauge which will turn dark on the end when it contacts the fuel level. I then can measure the amount between the gauge stop and the end to determine fuel level below the jet well. On the 48IDA, this dimension should be 43mm +/- 1mm

Fuel level is critical in that it determines how the holes function in the E-Tubes - at which point does the fuel flow or emulsify.
