Can you get to the flange nuts and pull the carby away; I normally turn the carby upside down on the bench and measure float position with a vernier gauge.

Hi Turbs
it may be possible to . yeah,

I looked at sliding it forward in the rubber coupling to the intake manifold but that only wins a extra couple of mm.

I’ve done a few......engine crane strap onto the prop flange the jack it up till the nose wheel just touches the ground. This will put a force onto the rubber mounts giving you plenty of room
