As far as I know there are only 2, maybe 3 types of flo-jets, 1) divorced air horn, 2) intergral air horn and 3) those that are set up to run on the aluminum block models with the reversed throttle shaft. In either case of the first two jetting should be close enough between the 12 and 16 to be ok. Some of the other differances you need to be aware of is the intake manifold length and air cleaner height as there 2 different types out there. Usually the tall air cleaner can only be used with the longer intake on our machines abd also there is the short intake and short air cleaner. While you can't use the tall air filer with the short manifold you can use the short air ceaner on the long manfold. Lastly the govenor linkage is different between the short and long manifold types: long govenor rod short inake, short govenor rod long intake. My understanding is that you can still get new carbs but not inexspensively.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
