The part number of the H1F needle fitted to the marina is CUD1138 which
has the identifying marking BBQ on the stem of the needle. I am not sure
at this time if this interchanges to another common application or not.
I am sure that this single H1F from a Marina will work with a B engine
but I imagine the performance will be weak since a B usually uses 2
carbs.
