float setting early CA77 with side cut-outs on carb body
The side of this C77 B carb on a 1965 all original CA77 Dream has a cut out of approximately 1/2 inch  on each side directly in-line with the float.  Do you turn the carb upside down and measure the 26 1/2 mm from inside the cut out to the normal bottom of the float?  The cut-out is approx. 1/8 inch lower than the rest of the carb lip.  This carb is of the early model and the bowl gasket in the Keyster carb rebuild kits will not fit it.
