The only difference besides the flame arrester that I noticed on a boat I
once had was the float bowl vented and overflowed back to the top of the
mecanical fuel pump.

The biggest difference is that the fuel will overflow into the engine if
the
float valve sticks. Or so I've been told.

I've owned twin engine Chris Craft, with OEM engines (chev 283) and OEM
carbs.

Rebuilt both and never noticed any difference between them and the carbs
I've seen on those engine in cars. I know the rebuild kits were the same,
including the jets, float level gage, etc.

I don't mean to be argumentative, but I'm still wondering what other
difference there is..
