  1. Here are some tips on adjusting the carb.  Also search on Dyke's Automobile and Gasoline Engine Encyclopedia, page 1

    My carburetor, a Detroit Lubricator, is somewhat different but appears to operate pretty much the same. I followed the instructions shown here and got nice results. One thing confuses me however;  isn't this adjustment really the same as just pulling the choke cable out to get an even idle?

    Thanks BTW for your help!

  2. I find the prices for the golf cart rentals total robbery.  I am using my own and am bring it from home ( I am handicapped). Show policy states that only electric carts are allowed.  The problem here is the real  risk of running out of charge.  The promoters state that there are charging stations but ,as anyone with an electric cart knows, charging can take 6 hours or more.  Their policy of banning gas powered golf carts is really unfair.

  3. Recently resurrected a very solid, original '24 DB sedan. Car runs pretty well but only with the choke control pulled about 60% out.  I have checked for vacuum leaks using carb spray around the intake and the carb with no success. The only noticeable speed up in rpm's when sprayed with carb fluid is around the heater (?) tube coming from the lower portion of the carb into the block. I notice that my carb seems to be missing a flange or cover which would surround the tube with the adjustable shutters and lay flat where the tube enters the block.  Anyone out there had any experience with this car?  Advice would be greatly appreciated..

  4. GraniteBayBob,

      I have the piece you need. It is still on a transmission I have. I will take it off if you still need it and check it's condition. I also have the throwout bearing. Let me know please,

    I'd like to buy the part from you if it is still available.
