I know the recommended way to do it , done it many times . I was trying to re-invent the wheel . I gotta disagree with Adrian H though , draining each carb in turn and measuring the volume of the fuel would be easy , and you gotta drain the carb to fit the measuring pipe. Over thinking ? me ?
As Adrian said, the first carb you drain will also drain, because the float valve will open, the fuel left in the fuel pipe, the others won't. On a twin feed set that would be repeated on one of each pair.
