Center hung float bowls are dual feed, one inlet per fuel bowl, and the float is pivoted in the middle, so it doesn't get as affected by cornering. Side hung floats are a single inlet carb, with a balance tube feeding the secondary fuel bowl, the floats are also hinged on one side insead of the middle.

In a fit of 16 year old genius, I looked down through the carb while cranking it to see if fuel was flowing, and it was. Flowing straight up in a vapor cloud, around my head, on fire.
