I  have a two sets of 140 carbs. While trying to see if any of them are any 
 good at all, I noticed some differences in the carbs. 

I have posted  the photos and I look forward to your comments. Please email 
your comments as  directed on the web page, so we don't tie up too much of 
the Fastvairs &  VirtualVairs bandwidth. 
 
Some simple basics - No secondary carbs on 140s ever had mixture screws,  
but it was and is a common change to substitute primary bottoms for 
secondaries.  Note that secondaries also had no vacuum port tubes vertical or 
horizontal. So  Set A is a combination of piece parts. The "springed" linkage is 
"66 style" but  actually was incorporated in mid-65. The spring linkage 
utilized the lock shafts  on the secondary tops. (The shaft with no plate on the A 
secondaries.
 

the bolt-on tabs may be a good indicator or not. They move with the screws. 
 Set B is more indicative of the 65 (early-65) style carbs. No linkage in 
the  secondary top, no choke lockout needed and set-up for solid (no-spring) 
linkage. 
 
The condition of the lower float bowls, the insides and the throttle  
plate/shaft area will determine the best course of action.
