In short words, it says, that at 26 Dec. 1940, Soviet government issued an order to produce AM-35 engines with floatless carbs only. However, this order was not obeyed at full. Only some engines were produced with such carbs, while most were equipped with the float carbs.

This made me search more thoroughly through my vast reference library and I actually found there an original manuals for AM-38 and AM-35 engines. According to them, the engine was equipped with 4 float carburettors, installed after the supercharger, each carb. serving 3 cylinders. This carburettors were equipped with special devices, preventing fuel overflow at a negative G, which made those engine fully aerobatic (according to the said manual).
