In useful news, I don't think it's a float level issue because they wouldn't be THAT high, but if you think about it, when you don't have clear sight plugs there's no way they intended it to be half way up the old original brass ones! It's supposed to be set to the BOTTOM of the sight plug, because that's where it would be dribbling out if you didn't have clear plugs (or any plugs installed).

As others have said, fix what you know isn't right before chasing ghosts and valve lash. Get the fuel right first.
