I've never bothered using the float level height. And I've done carb rebuilds a million times. With the carbs off the bike and the float bowls off. Hold the carbs sideways so the floats are pointing down and the pivot pin is on the top. Adjust the floats, so the metal tang connecting the pivot to the float, is parallel to the carb/float bowl mounting surface, when the tang just touches the float needle, without compressing the spring. Sorry about the run-on sentence. Read it a couple of times, step by step.
If you want to get technical, the float level is 7.5mm.
Got the figures from my Honda service manual.
