The size of the float makes no difference as long as the level is correct.The difference is in the tang that contacts the needle/seat housing.Bottom is AVS,top two AFB.
I think I have some of those AFB types in my AVS. I can get the right float height numbers, closed and droop.

Oh, and is the Standard part number above definitely the correct one?

That carb you have is in the 600cfm range. The 300 would have had a HP 440 carb in the 725-750cfm range. It will run good and be pretty spunky on the lower end. Upper range? It may fall on it's face. Are you racing, or just cruising? It should MPG a little better than the bigger one.

I'm sure it can't do 110 MPH thanks to it's aerodynamics, but it's a lot of fun up top.

That # came right out of the standard parts manual
if you use crossover book , all bets are off.

With your weight/gearing that size of carb will work fine for you. I just stopped by my parts house & they show in the standard "hygrade" brand a FL98 float for an AFB & 2 floats for AVS's an FL95 and a FL97. After reading prior posts I dont know if his book was a crossover manual or not

Haha, I know the speedo is off, but I've put is well past the marked 120 on there. Whether I was really going that fast, who knows.
