You can pick a carb up and know what cylinder it is just by the way the airscrew fits, the way the vents lie and the way the petrol pipes go into the body for instance. Anyone who does carbs would know all those things.

They are also marked 1,2,3 and 4 by Honda (well Keihin) as below.

Bit different that Ash, those are production marks to make them readily identifiable and they don't appear on the 500/550 for instance but I see your point, why bother when it's already there. Shows lack of confidence in their abilities to me.

Even without the marking I can tell that's number 4 cylinders carb, the brass ferrule for the venting pipe connection makes it either 2 or 4 but the drilling for the airhole as well makes it 4. The petrol joint hole would also be drilled that side if you could see it whereas number 2 would have it on the other side.

More evidence that the rebuilt carbs pics are fake, the truth comes out under close inspection.

Oddjob:
What are we looking at there.

I studied the pic and can't see what damage he's referring to, float tab? the towers where the rod goes through?

it's all in the videos I have been sent, along with the other issues that I've been left with, charged for.
