How much atf oil goes in the top of the sidedraught carb on the 123 200?

Hi MechPhil, years ago when I owned cars with SU and Stromberg carbs I used to fill the piston tube to a level so that when you insert the plunger it shows resistance when about 1/4 inch from screw down, Ive never used ATF for this job which I would have thought too thin, only used light engine oil. hope this helps.
