Eclector Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'm looking for information about this carb. It is presently installed on a 1929 Franklin 135 but it is not original to the engine. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Looks like a firetruck carburetor from the late 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFitz Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) It's a cast iron U-2. Franklin used them on the last half of 1929 Series 13 production. They came in two sizes. One for the Series 135-137 engine and one for the smaller Series 130 engine. It's a rare and excellent carburetor that can be safely rebuilt, unlike the crumbling potmetal T-2 and U-2 used on the earlier 1929's. Look on the forward end of the mounting flange. Those three stamped numbers there should be either 130, or 135. If you want to know more about it, pm me. Here's a couple of pictures of it's little brother for a 130 engine.

ericmbianco Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I have a 1929 Franklin 130 and I believe I have the same cast iron carburetor. Where can I get the rebuild kit for this carburetor? I have gas shooting out of the top of the primmer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
