For Sale: Brand new In Box Carter WGD-2052S Carburetor 1953 Kaiser


Recommended Posts

Without going into the long, convoluted story of how I ended up with this carburetor, I'll just tell you what I have. It is a brand new Carter WGD-2052S. It is an original 1953 production version that was probably originally purchased from a Kaiser dealer in 1953. Unlike the other one that I've seen on eBay, search for item # 400801135141, this one makes no mention of 1954 Kaiser or 1954 Willys. It merely says it fits 1953 Kaiser Dragon, Model K-530, DeLuxe, Model K-531, and Manhattan, Model K-532. That states to me that this is one of the original production run of these in 1953.

The Good: This carburetor is brand new and has never been mounted or run. It is still in its original Carter packaging.

The Bad: One flap on the box is torn off, but still there and the original label is 98% intact. I would assume that it originally came with instructions for adjusting the idle speed and mixture, but it is gone along with the carburetor to manifold gasket that was probably with it. There is some very light oxidation on the plating on the top of the choke butterfly. Other than that, it looks like it did the day it was manufactured.

The price is $500.00 delivered to your door by FedEx anywhere in the lower 48 States. For Alaska, Hawaii, and international shipping, please contact me for a shipping quote. If you have any questions, please contact me by PM.
