They float bowl connections are push-on, part #147 on Moss p.18 for those
playing along, so that makes them model AUC878.

The only modification I notice from the diagram is that the vertical throttle
linkage is not at the end of the shaft near the front carb, but is relocated to
be between the carbs.  I remember reading someone (sorry I forget who wrote it)
noted the carbs were hard to synchronize because the linkage was pushed from the
end and the throttle shafts could twist, so pushing at the middle would appear
to be a good mod.
