Float setting on 34DATR

After a period of poor starting and uneven running I just got a carb rebuild kit for my 1985 1500VS. It has a 34 DATR carb fitted. Does anyone know how to set the float height. Thanks in advance.

The float has two tangs, one operates the needle & seat, the other is in the center between the float mounting rod posts.
Bend as needed, usually does not take much to make a big difference.

correct?

Thanks Chris. How do I know when it is correct?

Your kit didn't come with instructions? The chart on the wall says for the DATRA carburetor says 7 mm, the instruction sheet for the DATRA kit I just used on my 128 says 7 mm & 43 mm down to the lower line on the float.

I assume that a DATR is the same since it's the same family of carburetors, but you might want to confirm that.
