Float Heights:
17.5 mm = J-H Workshop Manual (leanest I've seen for Z-S)
16-17mm = Z-S generic Z-S, & Lotus 907 Workshop manuals.

If you have the Haynes Z-S manual, note that there is a typo in the float height spec given on page 45. The metric values are correct (16-17mm) but the inch values are bad math... wrong.

16mm = 0.630", not 0.725"
17mm = 0.669", not 0.787"

Inspect the floats closely. On some, the 'float' part itself is attached to the arm with aluminum eyelets/ rivets. Alcohol in modern fuel eats the aluminum rivets, and the float falls off the arm.
