Check the tops of the float bowls. There are two styles of lids and  
bolts. The early style did not have the bronze fitting with the  
overflow pipe. It had a  aluminium cap and there were two small cuts  
in the lid to allow the float bowl to breath. If you have the wrong  
set up you will run out of fuel to the engine on acceleration and  
high speeds.
