The two carbs stamped RE16434 had 22747 and 19195 stamped underneath.

Two other Ferret 40NNIP carbs I worked on were stamped RE14549. They had 5537 and 6264 stamped underneath.

I have to think these are serial numbers, so Solex made a lot more RE16434's than RE14549's? I didn't notice any difference between the two RE #'s.

These were all Solex carbs, with no sign of the "Marcus" designation Steve refers to. What is that? Did Marcus make Solex carbs? Is that why the "849" number is so low relative to the above numbers?

FYI, as you can see from the 40NNIP number in the photo below, the 40 and the NNIP were cast into the carb body, and the 0 was stamped.
