Confused on carb bowls

[BKOLFO4]

So I have searched and found two things:

 

1. Bowl 1-1 goes on the choke side (left).

2. The bowl with the jet in the hole goes on the choke side (left).

 

My confusion. I took my carbs apart today to adjust the jetting.

 

My 1-2 float is on the choke side, but it is also the bowl with the jet in the passage way, so I am not sure if they are swapped or not.

 

So, bowl 1-2 with the jet on the choke side, or bowl 1-1 with no jet on the choke side?

 

I would assume the jet needs to be on the choke side, since that carb has a tube running down into tthe passage way, but. . . Help!

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the help. It took as much effort for your answer as it would have to just to ignore if you did not want to help or just verify which way mine should go. . .

 

To repeat, I did search and read many responses. One response I found was your response to the guy with 2 bowls marked 1-2 and 1-2P.

 

Now according to your response, the jet goes on the choke side. This was the only reason I had confusion. Otherwise I would have just swapped my bowls and put 1-1 on the choke side.

 

Had I not found that response, every other response I found (which there are a bunch of them), says 1-1 goes on the choke side and never mentions the jet.

 

So I have found (using the SEARCH FUNCTION)

1. 10+ responses that bowl 1-1 goes on the choke side

2. 1 response that the bowl with the jet goes on the choke side.

 

Wth my bowl setup, these are not possible. Bowl 1-2 has the jet, bowl 1-1 does not.

 

Let me explain a little better for you:

 

If I put bowl 1-1 on the choke side, I contradict statement 2 above and the jet will not be on the choke side.

If I put my bowl that has the jet on the choke side, I contradict statement 1 above and bowl 1-1 will not be on the choke side.

 

I found a lot more responses that just say 1-1 goes on the choke side, than ones that mentioned anything about a jet in the bowl. Do I go with the majority, or go with your response? It would have been nice to just have someone verify which way was correct.

 

Now, I have actually put it back together and went with the jet on the choke side, and bowl 1-1 on the right side, because it made the most sense to me.

 

Thanks again,

Brian

ok newbie keep asking the same old questions!! Also if you look at my response like you did using the serch button I did not say anything about numbers just that the jet goes with the choke.The numbers mean nothing my pimply face young friend.I have owned a Shee since the day they were born.Just began working on them 4 years ago and to answer the question about carbs bowels look at my first posts about the same issue and you'll see all newbies get the same response SEARCH BUTTON! Its a way of getting broke in on the HQ WELCOME!
