Hey West - thank you so much!!! Please look up my address in my bio as to where to send the check. I have 2 complete ones! grin

There are at least 3 different dual throat Detroit Lubricators. The first was used on the 1916 Regal; the second on Packard marine engines and subsequently on the early run of Speedsters; and the third on later Speedsters. Unfortunately, both of mine are for the Regal. frown

I had an original third type, but it and I parted company a couple of years ago.

Jon.

Well, I was actually betting Tom. Sorry, bets cannot be transferred to another party. I should have added that I'd bet he hadn't seen an original dually on eBay.
What happened to the original that you had, Jon? Did it get put on a Speedster? Whose?

Tom,
Is the bracket above the air inlet for a push/pull cable for choke? If so, it seems to be mounted in a strange location?

Rick,

Yes it is for the choke cable. The round thing with the slot right near the inlet is where the wire from the cable goes. There is a set screw to hold it in place. You can see it in the second Picture. I rarely used the choke when I had the car running that is.

Do you have an air-filter for it? If so, does it mount directly on carb or is it the remote type, connected by tube or hose?
I like the way the air-inlet curves Up, to prevent some of the gasoline from dripping out, like it does from the DL, when engine is shutoff.

Yes I do it mounts directly on the carb inlet. It is a can like thing with a wire mesh inside of it. I can post some pictures if you like.

Yes, would like to see it, since it's probably different than ones for DLs.

One more question, Is there a drain tube port on the very bottom, below the air inlet, or is that protrusion for access to the main jet?

Rick,

At your service. Here are some pictures of the Air Cleaner. Looks like I have another part that needs to be powder coated.

The last two with the chrome air cleaner I have no clue what chrome one fits or what it is for.

Rick,

It is a keeper don't you think?

I am not really sure where one could purchase one. I did a quick yahoo search and it seems older H-Ds used them but not this size thou.

Tom, the Linkert literature leads me to believe the carburetor you pictured is one of their A/M units, the Model R. It is my belief that the Model R Linkert was based on the then defunct Schebler Model T. No car company ever picked up the Linkert R, and I have no information that it was ever sold as O.E. on anything. In 34 years, we have had one request for a rebuilding kit for the R. We have several of the carburetors.

Jon.

Jon,

That is interesting to know. That is probably why there is not much info out there then. What parts would you or do you have? As you know there is not much to this carb.

Tom - we don't make anything for it. Linkert did print a very few A/M catalogs, but they sold very few A/M carbs. I do have a couple of their catalogs. As far as I know, their only big customer was Harley-Davidson.

To the best of my knowledge, their A/M parts for other makes of carbs is what kept them going.

Jon.
