Great pictures from the Gathering, Mark!  That carb on Roger's plane has had me 
zooming in to look at it from all angles for half an hour.  No idea, but it's a 
side draft with mixture control and a choke.  Looks like he has the mixture 
control set up like the Zenith, with a twisting of the cockpit knob to screw 
the needle in and out and a tension spring on the needle screw.  The small tube 
coming off the bottom of the carb seems to be a balance tube going to one side 
of a diaphragm, so I would have guessed some sort of altitude compensator like 
the Bing (and the old Honda 450 CB450) but then why the mixture control?  I 
dunno... maybe off a jet ski or snow-mo?
