Notice the side mounted float bowl.
Warner Riley ran pretty much the same setup in 1972, topping 206 mph. 96" stroker on 92% nitro. Notice the rear sprocket - only 28 teeth (stock on a Sportster back then was 53 teeth). 25 tooth countershaft sprocket (stock was 19 teeth).

What is the clear tube connected to the 90* fitting going around to the other side of the carb used for?
