As I will be fitting a Factory jet kit to the 7 soon.
I was just wondering what's the easiest way to check the float height.

Wouldn't have to worry if it was a late six

I don't know what you are talking about Dave ( it's going on the road 7 )

Not surprised you got a 6 comment in Rob.

If you don't know how to set the float then you should not be working on the carbs.

have to learn somehow...

I know how to set the height oldman, I was just asking for hints or tips on measuring the height to make the job easy.

Some needle and seats have a spring on the needle. This is to compensate for bumps etc. Make sure you do not compress the spring when setting the float or it will be too low. Also Jim Beam is a fantastic tool for working on carbs.
