Carburetor letters ?

Hello,

I'm wondering if there's somewhere a diagram, or an explanation what these letters mean ? What port on the carburetor is what letter ?
J - B - L - T -H

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Ernest

Re: Carburetor letters ?

The letters themselves have no particular meaning.

However, if you look closely at the carb, you'll see them cast next to the nipples, as your key to the diagram for hooking up the hoses. In fact in your pic you can see the little "J" just below the nipple at the top right of the carb, above the fuel filter housing.
