Check the tops of the float bowls. There are two styles of lids and
bolts. The early style did not have the bronze fitting with the
overflow pipe. It had a aluminium cap and there were two small cuts
in the lid to allow the float bowl to breath. If you have the wrong
set up you will run out of fuel to the engine on acceleration and
high speeds.
