These 2 carbs are for 86 to early 87 140's. So chances are the other 2 if they are larger must be a partial set of the 86 200XP carbs. In 86 and a few of the 87 200 XP high performance loopers they used a MASSIVE set of carbs. I take it they are almost a straight shot through the air passage through the center of em, if so that is them.

Ferm you are an freaking genus as always ! Hats off to you my friend..here is what I found on another post it matches everything I have, the Bozo of a mechanic installed these carbs on my engine last year I switched em back because I rebuild the original I thought I had a set of spares wrong !
Nice little detective work but it was worth it.
Thanks Guys

I wasn't able to measure those carbs before I left, and I am in NEBRASKA right now and going to WTOMING next so I'm not going to be able to measure em for awhile.
