If the filter is between the supply tank and the vacuum tank that is normal, it is a vacuum system so causing air and volatile fuel components to off gas when they get to the air space in the filter. You don.t need a filter between the vac tank and the carb.

No, it is a number 3 three passenger coupe. There is not space for a rumble seat. The 3-5 passenger coupe
is shaped like a cabriolet.

That would depend on the design of the pump. I have used an Autopulse model 600 on my Series14 since the 1960s without a bit of trouble. It is a simple pushrod acting on a bellows and is adjustable for 1 or 2 psi. Don't know which it is set for but it always supplied enough. These pumps were used on Porsche racing cars way back when. They and overhaul kits can available on Ebay.

Franklin Made four cylinder cars until 1913.
Except for Model H from 1908 were 6 cylinder and Model D in 1911 and later
-
Enclosed cars before 1916 Series 9 do not exist where they then appear and become progressively more available in 1922 Series 10 and later.
-
Not sure about Series 12, but S-11 and earlier were Franklin designed and built and this box is what is desired.
-
The mark on the housing, if S10 is like later cars, is little more than a scratch in the housing. Paint it white when you find it.
-
Just check the part #s for series around 11 in the parts books on the Club website.

The same one as the starter

He is listed with Mark Chaplin

My 11B had a Dole primer setup, a pump like a tire air hand pump in operation which pumped gas to three fittings on the intake manifold. Have ask Bob Amon where it connects to the fuel supply system on Bertha. It was mounted behind the dashboard with a good sized chrome/nickle knob for your pull-push operating pleasure. Nothing like having gas leaking on the driver's left leg. Tried it once, didn't like it.

A.J. YES! One of the fellows I met years /decades ago that became a good friend was a wonderful, nice, kinda quiet guy who lived in Ct. or Mass. He had a 1926 Franklin series 11 , His name was Ed Granville. great to talk to , he mentioned he liked the Franklins and was around when they were new etc etc. He and his brothers built a few airplanes in the 1930s - The Granville Brothers - it dawned on me - Yikes - the Gee Bee racing airplanes! We had some very very interesting conversations - most people at the Franklin trek didn't get the connection of who he was. I wish I had a tape recorder with me in retrospect to get down what he told me. He never bragged about this so most people didn't know to be able to hear him tell of the airplanes. But he wanted and bought a Franklin ( for its connection to air cooling and airplanes of the pre war era) and went to the Franklin Club annual meet. He was truly inspiring - It was like I was in a "you are there" path to history when he told me he knew Charles Lindbergh, Frank Hawks etc. ( go watch the movie The Rocketeer to see what a Gee Bee racing plane was) I have to many memories of people I have encountered that became friends 40-50 years ago when I was in my youth and they were in their 70s, guess I should write this all down , or maybe I am here on the forums............................

Ed Granville lived in Vernon CT, where I live and go by his home frequently as it is about a mile from mine. Decades ago I bought something at a tag sale there not knowing at the time who was holding it and of course now don't remember what it was. He is listed in the '73 Roster and his car, an 11-B coupe, was yellow with black roof and is now in Oregon.
