I just came across another pair of Riley Racing Carbs. These are a matched set of early style castings without the main jet air bleed between the floatbowl and throat. Note how they're stamped 1 and 2 at top of floatbowls and throats, I'd guess it's for time saving while wrenching/tuning during racing - pretty cool.
And unlike most Riley carbs the idle circuits on these carbs were never drilled out for alcohol, they even had the same size main jets and idle tubes as I was planning to use!
Matching serial numbers, now that's so radical it almost scares me, it's a sign for sure - but I have no idea of what? ...I wish I knew. Now they just need a few things, like a good cleaning and a Knucklehead motor - well, don't we all?
