  Thanks for all the advice, Alan and others.

I got two of these for a little more than the cost of one 'camp & damper assembly' from Moss.  I hope to cannibalize 
parts if/as I need them.

BTW, the our BN2 is a 100M so it has H6 carbs but, yes, I can see that the float bowls and levers are different.  
Hopefully, the floats aren't as I might need them someday.
