Carb float height help

Hello all, i need to find the desired float height for the carburettor on my 1994 Mariner 30hp 2 stroke please. I've tried the search function and also a Google search without success.

Cheers

Gav.

If you turn the carb upside down snd let the float rest it’s usually parallel to the carb body

Don’t know a specific for your engine but that’s an accepted rule of thumb so to speak

Cheers Neil ��. I'm going to use that if i can't get an exact measurement. The engine runs lovely appart from top end, suffers fuel starvation. I've overhauled the fuel system and up to wot is perfect. If i force fuel into the system using the primer bulb it alleviates the problem ��
