 Each carb should have an aluminum tag under one of the screws that secures the large top cover. What are the numbers that are stamped on them (separate numbers for the front & rear carbs)? Given those numbers, I can determine how your carbs were jetted & set-up when they left the factory.

In reality, there's no guarantee that the carbs are still jetted the same after 47 years... who knows what others might have done to them over time? But it might help you get a handle on what you have.

Back in the day, Dellorto offered three different float weights, and each weight required a different, specific float height to go with it. If different floats have been installed due to (lack of?) availability issues, then the float height must be what's correct for the floats that are installed, and not the original applicaton spec height.
