Curti Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I found these two carburetors at a grarage sale this weekend. Can they be ID'd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The second one is a Schebler. They were used on many things, and came in several sizes. My dad's 1910 Sears has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Second one could also be a knockoff Acorn brand, the logo is not visable from this angle. Automobile applications usually had a butterfly type throttle and this sliding valve was usually stationary engine but it is not a hard and fast rule.

Richard Lichtfel Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The Schebler is exactly the same as my 1909 Mason 2 cylinder. I have seen this carb. used on old one cylinder marine engines as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Are these things worth anything, or should I hang them on the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi Curt, they are moderately valuable. They have generaly survived {along with automotive type magneto's} in significantly larger numbers than the engines they fit. People often collect them for display purposes. If a person is frequently touring with a car of similar vintage to these carb's they will usually fit a more modern carb. They will often have an example of the original on hand just in case someone wants to return the vehicle to stock. But they usually provide poor performance with today's gas and road conditions. In contrast the stationary engine people will often use original type carbs on their engines. The engines are usually run at engine shows at idle speed and under little if any load. Even primitive carbs will generaly function satisfactorily under these conditions. Hope this helps, Greg in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cben09 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 People today would rather bolt on a new carb rather than fuss with the adjustments to make it run right,,aaaagh,,Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The Schebler is so simple, and runs so well on the Sears, I can't see how replacing it could offer any kind of improvement. I can completely disassemble, clean and reassemble it in about three minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
