Are you worried there is too much fuel in the float bowl? You could try 12mm and see what happens. When I got my bike it ran OK on part throttle but would not rev out. One float was way too low, cutting the fuel too early. I did not measure it, unfortunately.

With the modded nut and a clear pipe you can see the real fuel level, so much more accurate than any other way. There is a drawing in one of the dellorto manuals at least, showing the level as somewhere around 5mm below the gasket face of the bowl. Adjusting the float height by the +/- 1mm makes a lot of difference in the fuel level, so getting the level at around 5mm will have you much more 'in the ball park'. Once that is set the jets seem to perform so much more as the books suggest.

Thanks both, I will search for the manual but looks like my level is to high,
Thanks
