DIY Fuel height tube?

Ok, so need to check the float heights. Is it possible to just get some clear tube without the markings and put them on yourself? Where do you start the markings? Is it by mm?
Any help would be appreciated!

 

You don't need markings.

Mine's a short length of Vacuum Tube into a Right Angle fitting and a Vinyl Hose heading straight up.

You simply use the Carb Body as a reference.
You want the Fuel to rise in that Tool until the level is just about right at the top of the Lock Washer of the Screw holding the Float Bowl on the Body.

Here's a Visual Aid:

 

Rick comes through again!

Couple questions.
Does it have to be vacuum line? I already bought some clear tubing. I could return it for some vac line, but I am not sure where I put the receipt. :-(

The length of tube doesn't exactly matter does it? As in the fuel should equalize to the same height in the tube as it does in the body? Obviously I don't want a crazy length of tube.

 

The WHOLE thing isn't much larger than the "L" you can make with your Thumb and Index Finger.

 

what did you use for your right angle fitting ???

So what is vac line off the carb bowl to the right angle fitting & then a piece of vac line again or was your right angle fitting connected directly to carb bowl ???

 

Rick has Mikunis on his 900 and they don't have little nipples, you have to jam something in them to push the hose on; he uses a right-angle fitting.

If your carbs have nipples on the drains then all you need is a hunk of clear tubing.

If not, then a little plastic fitting from the hardware store where you got the tubing will do; I use one of the little hose junctions that came with my Mity-Vac.
