Floats often have two adjustments, the one that sets the fuel level, and the float "drop" (though no all carbs have that spec). For most carbs the float level is set just the way you show, and then can be verified by opening the check plug on the float chamber with the engine idling. As has been said before, the fuel level should then be just at the bottom of the threads of the plug opening.
