I set the float to be level as mentioned by Stoffregen Motorsports above, and the car ran much better at that height, so I went looking for anything that confirmed that the 39mm height (at the top of the float) that I had was OK - that's when I stumbled across the above specs for the DFV (which is just set up in reverse to the DGV) that showed the recommended height for the nitrophyl float corresponded with the settings I had settled on. There still seems to be a lot of the instruction sheets that recommend setting the float at 35mm or even 33mm, but I think my float has bent arms that drop it down at least 4mm. I'm happy running the float at 39mm from the flat surface of the carb top as it looks right, and the car (Suzuki Sierra/Samurai 1324cc) is running well. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=4127#

I know this is resurrecting an old conversation, but I struggled to find an answer to the float height issue myself, and couldn't get my REDLINE 32/36 DGV 5A plastic float height close to any of the recommended settings I found online - my float looks like the first photo above, with Weber cast into the plastic and with the bend in the arm adjacent the pin. When I set my float parallel to the base, the measurement to the bottom of the float was 39mm. Anything other than that would have required substantial bending of the arms, which seemed illogical to me. Anyway, I hope the attached document helps anyone else searching for an answer to their float height settings. Weber 32-36 Plastic Float Height.pdf
