    Which carb is which?

    Is there any way to tell which carburetor is which (ex: which is #1 and which is #3, etc...) if they've become mixed up after taking them apart?

          Carb rebuild tutorial linked in my signature. Look at the throttle linkage parts. The carbs only fit together one way.

            Thanks, that is good to know. I am pretty sure that I laid them out in order after I "un-ganged" them, but in case I didn't...

              Just look at the unique parts:
              #1 is the only one with a cap on the left side of the throttle linkage.
              #2 is the only one with a vacuum nipple beside the pilot screw housing.
              #3 is the only one with the throttle linkage that accepts the cable.
              #4 is the only one with a cap on the right side of the throttle linkage.
