The dimension and tool is designed to work without pulling the top, you just have to take off the jet screen cover and remove one of the main jets. The measurement is from the floor of the jet access well to the fuel level. If you need to adjust the level, then you have to pull the cover. But it gives you an amount you have to raise or lower the level
I specifically like this for my car with canted carburetors. It is important the fuel level in the jet cavity be at the correct height and this automatically compensates for the canted carburetor. Setting fuel level dry per the weber manual does not - you need to change it by 2mm.
I've toyed with working on an external adjustment for the float, but it probably would be a labor of love. Once the float level is set, unless you have a catastrophic problem, there isn't a reason to change it.
