What numbers are you referring to?  Can you post a photo?

What I do know is that VM carbs like yours will have two pairs of float bowls, one with the drain outlet pointing right, and the others pointing left.

I have seen numbers cast inside and on the bottom of the bolt on VM carbs. If I remember correctly like #2’s and 3’s. I don’t recall anything 35 or 45. I could not find and correlation to the numbers I have seen number 2’s on rights and number 2’s on lefts. As mentioned photos will help

I just checked a set of VM28 pumpers I have here, and they have very poorly stamped "40" on them.  Maybe they are some sort of batch number used internally at the Mikuni factory?
