I have a 2006 LX 150 and I'm trying to tune up the bike. Cleaned the carb and was just trying to figure out what the float height setting is on this carb, it's a Kehin CVK 26mm. Believe it or not I can't find this information on the internet. Thanks

Here is the adjustment method for a kehin CV40 used on older Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I've used the same method when adjusting the float on the CVK in a GT200. I'd expect the same method to work on the CV26.
I pay more attention to the float being parallel to the bowl gasket surface than the 0.413-0.453" measurement.

As above, the line on the seam of the float should be parallel to the carb body as pictured. In this position, all fuel should be shut off.
