The carb on the right is an early "round bowl" carb. The one on the left is a later "square bowl" carb. Bowls are not interchangeable.

G-Man made a statement that got me to thinking when he said that the early carbs had convex sides. learned from LM that these were referred to as round bowls, and I have been telling all of you that the ones I have were 1965's. That is what the titles say. After checking the carb on my white Dream and discovering that it was a square bowl instead of a round bowl I decided to check the frame numbers. It seems that the blue round bowl bike is actually a 1963. The white square bowl is a 1964.

Thanks HT, I will check my numbers and figure out where I went wrong.
