IIRC, it should be about where the seam is for the bowl gasket, mid way for and aft along the seam. More importantly, it should not continue to rise to the point where fuel overflows.

If you are careful, you can even check the level this way while the engine is running.

WOW, is that a neat way to check the float and fuel level.
