What is this Carter AFB for?

[Katfish]

I'm thinking about rebuilding the Carter AFB on my 340.  Accelerator pump is bad, it takes 10-20pumps to start motor.  Was wondering what the carb was originally for.

It has 2540 9756S stamped on baseplate on front passenger side.

that was an aftermarket replacemnet carb available in the early 80s before carter went out of business

I dont think I've ever seen the ponys before. Is that common for the replacement carbs?

[Chryco Psycho]

they used that for a few years

I know that carb well, ive got those on my 79' international Scout II, and I've also cleaned one up for my 440 (little small but it'll run ok)  Its a 625 cfm.  They are O.K. carbs not overly impressed, word of advice...there is a metal flapper that is weighted just inside the primaries, THROW IT AWAY!  What you will notice is if you give it a buncha gas....or floor it It will spit one big PUH, then go like hell, its caused by that flapper taking time to swing open.  Edelbrock makes a direct replacement accelerator pump for those.
