I'm not sure how to measure the float, but if you turn it upside down, just look at it, set it at a slight upward angle when resting on the needle valve.

Also be sure the float isn't bent and touching the side of the bowl. Everything should be true and straight. Make sure the float doesn't have fuel inside it, just shake it and listen.

The fuel coming to the carb must be clean and free of any trace of rust or debris. Make sure the separator screen is in place and clean. Good idea to open the fuel valve and let the line flush before connecting it to the carb. Collect what comes out in a glass, see what you get. If it's dirty, it will get in between the needle and seat and it will flood.

Also make sure your needle seat has a smooth surface inside,
has a gasket under it and is tight.

Something that is often overlooked by newbies is that the seat for the float-operated needle has to have it's gasket in place and be screwed in DARNED tight, or gas will sneak past it and make the carb overflow.
