(Gov't issue)The Studebaker CorporationPart no. 905723It would seem to me as it is some sort of a pump but would love to know what it is exactly. Can anybody shed some light?

Guest stude8 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The 905xxx series of part numbers were used in 1941 - 56 trucks and seem to be usually small metal parts like clips and screws from the few I found in my truck catalogs. I suspect your part is for military truck application, I don't have any military truck part catalogs to browse.For reference <span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">905731</span></span> is "Clip to dash" chassis wiring all 2R;3R;E;2E (1949 thru 1956)models.

dictator27 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I agree with Stude8, Victor. The fact that the box is marked "Gov't issue" would indicate to me that it is a part for a military vehicle. A primer would have taken the place of the choke and was probably used in conjunction with a hand throttle. This is a very uneducated guess, but it may have been used on some Studebaker US6 trucks.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Milke Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks Stude 8 and Terry. I haven't been able to find anything more. If I understood correctly, it is part of the gas system, and would seem to help pressurize the system? This would sound to me as what I have heard very early cars used. Is this it? Or how or why would it have been used in conjuction with the choke?Thanks,victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dictator27 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 As already stated, this is a very uneducated guess, but as I see it this pump would have been used to inject a measured amount of fuel into tlhe intake manifold for starting purposes. It wouild not be used to pressurize the system. There would not have been a choke. A hand throttle would have been used to provide a fast idle for cold starting. I would say WW2 vintage maybe.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
