Are the stock carb bowls identical

[Pincushion]

I thought I read somewhere that the bowl with the fuel passage should go on the carb with the choke plunger. Problem with that is.... both bowls have that fuel passage and they are identical as far as I can tell.

 

Can anyone confirm that the bowls are the same and if not, what's the difference?

If they are different, would having the wrong bowl on the wrong carb cause the motor not to start?

 

 

Thx!

I have heard that you should keep the respective carb parts to themselves, but I forgot the reasoning. Can cause headaches ::

The one with the brass ball bearing on the front of the bowl goes on the left carb.

They are not identical. The one has a jet for the choke, the other not. The one with the jet goes on the carb with the choke.

Take a flashlight and shine down each passage ( the bigger passage ), one should have a jet in it, looks similar to a pilot jet, also screws out. You should also be able to see, the one passage is completely blocked off, while the other one has a small hole on the bottom of the passage to allow fuel into it.

Thank you!

 

I did use the search function, but must have used poor word choice. That's great info!

Your advice was right on the money also. I failed to see that brass ball upon 1st, 2nd and 3rd inspection
