I used Weldandgrind's method; upside down and align the seam in the floats, parrallel with the top of the float bowl. When I did this, the measurement was 18.5 mm and all is well.

Thanks Weld!
I'm glad it worked for you. My method is entirely blind luck. I started that way to establish a baseline with unknown carbs, and it worked well enough to not mess with it.
