In rebuilding my SU HS-6 carburetors, I came across some information myself..
If you remove the vacumn domes and pistons, with the float bowls full the fuel
should to sit just below the main jets. If the bridge in the carb where the
main jet sits is wet, then the floats are set too high. I haven't had a chance
to actually prove this since my TR is not running yet but it does kind of make
sense in the simplicity of it..
