ArticiferTom Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Picked up this carb at Hershey .Looking to find out what the extra arm is for on it . Talked to Carbking was not sure may be to advance distr. as it only functions on acceleration of throttle . This may also ID it's engine and vehicle . The one my finger is on .

Reg Evans Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Is that for the throttle cable from the dash ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) 3 hours ago, Reg Evans said: Is that for the throttle cable from the dash ? Yes, it is for the dash throttle cable. If that carburetor has the vertical tube style accelerator pump on the other side, it MIGHT work for a 1931 Dodge Brothers DH6. Carbking may have told you that there are LOTS of applications for the DRT-08 depending on the jet sizes, I guess. Are you keeping that carb?

ArticiferTom Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 He did mention the many applications and hand throttle . I did not know separate hand throttles cabled to carb as mine goes to linkage . Here is other view . The throttle pump is missing ,but overall is good with no rust , a little of original tag under screw but choke frozen . I'am not sure I bought to use a display or trade for (D)RJH-08 228s for my '31 truck with PA =UT engine . Any one have a pic of that hookup hand cable ?

keiser31 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Mmmmm....I see yours is different than mine....sorry....this post may not be of any help at all for you. Edited October 11, 2016 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Yes , that is not it. There is the throttle hard linkage hook up ,with the extra arm seeming like it had to pull upward from shown position to advance throttle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I DO believe that would be for the throttle cable from the dash, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 A long time ago, when I had lots of free time, I started to do a major article on the various Carter brass bowl updraft carbs. I got busy, and that article got put on the back burner. But from my notes, there are at least 20 different styles or types of brass bowl updraft carbs (ie. DRT-08, RX-0, RAJH-08, etc.) and more than 230 different carburetors. If one has the original Carter literature, the easiest way to BEGIN identification of one of these is to look at the number stamped on the multiple jet nozzle. This can be done by: removing the bowl retaining nut, and reading the number on the nozzle, which is directly above the nut. A strong light, a strong glass, and a pair of "young eyes" are quite useful in reading this number. Unfortunately, about 30 years ago, there was an older gentleman "rebuilding" Carter brass bowl carburetors; and his philosophy was "if the part fits, it is the right part"! Thus there are quite a few brass bowl Carters around that do not have the proper calibration, and getting the number of the multiple nozzle doesn't help with the identification. This is true of the multiple nozzle in the carburetor in this thread. The carbs, up to about 1930, were identified by a red cardboard tag. I think I have only ever seen one complete red cardboard tag, so good luck on finding one of these. Approximately 1930, Carter started using triangular brass tags on the brass bowl carbs, and occasionally, one will find one of these. The three most commonly found are 136s (Chevrolet), 150s (Chevrolet), and 209s (Plymouth). Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hello again Carbking ,We discussed this carb a few months ago . well finally had time to clean a little and checked the main jet number . I original read as 12/735 ,you said maybe 12/ 73s . Under magnification ,NO YOUNG EYES AVAILABLE, is 12/135 . Maybe now we can figure out what it goes to . Has 1-5/16" flange hole with 2-3/4" spacing bolts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
