I have my float measured with the gasket on and from the gasket to the float bowl seam is 15/16 of an inch.

I also have a quarter inch from the top of the float bowl with the carburetor "upside down" a quarter inch to the gasket.

Is that good enough or do I need to measure the float level with a tube?

If the answer is yes what should the float tube level be, and how is it measured.

I usually, with the top of the float bowl inverted, just set the top of the float parallel with the gasket surface of the float bowl top. YMMV
