I have bought several Carter 346 s carburetors and noticed a small difference in one.The bowl plunger shaft is flat on one instead of round.Anyone know why the different design or is that one not a 346 s ? Thank You in advance.

Post a picture and you will probably get a better response. Just off hand I would guess that the one with the flat accelerator pump shaft might be a W1, model 684. Does it look like this one: http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2829647430098611668HBDljd

The flat accelerator pump was not used on the 346s. My guess would be either someone inadvertantly (or otherwise) switched a tag; or someone "married" the bowl cover and pump from a later carb to the 346s.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
