I have a 1979 mercury 50hp 4 cylinder 2 stroke. Can someone tell me the float height? Is it parallel with body upside down, or is there a height that can be measured? Thanks

Nobody answered so I will. Yes parallel has been my experience with most floats on most engines both 2 and 4 stroke so I would think that is a good place to start. If you have WOT fuel issues, then allow more fuel to enter the carb which would be a slight tilting of the tip toward the carb casting while upside down.
