There was a YF made specifically for the 235 but most are for the 216.  I have
an aluminum adapter that lets you put a 216 carb on a 235.  I've only seen the
one in my lifetime, but it could be fabricated at a good machine shop.  I'll
post a picture of it on my blog site when I get a round tuit.

Anybody know if the Carter YF will work on a 235?

However, I want to be SURE there is no leakge there. No sealers? no
gaskets? Nothing?
