I'd bet a million bucks you haven't seen original dual-throats.  The repros cost $25,000!!!.... And I don't think that includes a new intake, either. 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!  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. I had an original third type, but it and I parted company a couple of years ago. Jon.

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?

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, 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?

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.

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.

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art.
