That link you provided shows use of a digital caliper. Harbor freight sells these useful devices for less than $20.Ed
To measure is to know.

No, you can use anything you are comfortable with, but please be aware that a difference of 0.5mm WILL make a difference.

Cheap and easy to use. Also a good tool to have in the bag for general measurements Be careful of the stay screw on some of the calipers that hold the rule in place. They tend to strip easily
Get one at sears/home depot/auto parts stores.
need something thin to get down to the base of the gasket surface without disturbing the float, so the micrometers tend to work well. Not to mention they are pretty exact (and cheap)
However a thin ruler could work:

Also, be mindfull that you have to check the level of both floats in each bowl. Be sure they are fery clsoe to each other. AND visually look at them to see that they are straight and not leaning to one side or the other..MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
