My 400 came with DCOE-20"s on the passenger bank and 21"s on the drivers side. The 21"s have a built-in "choke" device that, when used, creates an enriched mixture on one bank for cold starting. OK - that one had me outside with a flashlight. I knew the choke works only on the driver"s side, but had never examined the carb numbers. I have DCOE 23 on the driver side and DCOE 22 on the passenger side. I guess that may be the same as you are talking about, and the difference in number is due to changes between models. I"d have thought that all the carbs would have the choke, but that only one side was hooked up. Is that the case, or does the "off"side set not have the choke mechanism installed? Interesting! Bill
