Ron Lawson Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I am wanting to purchase a UX3 Carby I had a UX2 on my 2249 Senior (Iknow it wasn't correct but it was the closest I could find) and in the process of preparing the car ready for removal from a 20ft cargo container to her new home I had to take the carby off for cleaning You guessed it I dropped it with the worst results. I can send it over to Repo Restorations but if I am going to spend near on $2000 I would rather have the correct one I dont like my chances but here's hoping Thakyou in advance Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 We have both the pot metal UX-3 and the earlier brass OX-3 available.573-392-7378 (9-4 Mon-Wed central time).Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundog99 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hum,my parts book list a TX-2 carburetor as the correct size for a 2249 the UX-2 is the equivalent model ;The UX-3 is correct for the 2251 and 2252 ,this was necessary because of the increase of engine bore size.

carbking Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The Stromberg literature does not reference the model numbers.Stromberg lists the TX-2 as being used on the Standard Six and the Victory Six. Both were superceded by the UX-2.Stromberg lists the UX-3 as being used on the Senior Six. The brass OX-3 I mentioned in an earlier post was used on the 1926 Chrysler.Jon.

gundog99 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Indeed ,my Stromberg specifications do not give any the model numbers but do give Bore and stroke , 3 3/8 x 4 1/2 (1928 2251 engine ) for a UX-3. The 1927 2241 has a 3 1/4 X 4 1/2 engine . Both the Parts and Owners Manuals refer to the TX-2 Stromberg ,the specifications show the UX-2 not a UX-3 as an alternative.

Ron Lawson Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thank you Anthony for that information.There is so much conflicting information around with our old cars and its very kind of you to help out with the correct info I have been in touch with Classic Restorations and I can purchase just the main body of a UX2 from them Thankyou Carbking for your input if I have any problems I will contact you Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Lawson Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Anthony What carby are you running on your 2249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundog99 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I cannot remember the make.I have a pot metal UX-2 but it is cracked,hopefully one day, an iron or brass body version will come up for sale; my budget will not stretch to Aus $ 2000 for a refurbished one.

Ron Lawson Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Anthony if it's just the main body section part # P-15592 that's broken that part is avaliable from Classic Restorations separate.Still pricey but I have no choice. Please keep in touch I have 2 others that may have parts that you could use.Its been that long since I have had them out. I can't remember. I think one of them is not off a DB as there is a different casting on the main body and they have the typical pot metal problem but some bits may be salvagable. Thankyou once again for all your help Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
