Daymond Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Does anyone have any information on the carburetor used on this vehicle. I have carburetor, but someone took it apart and i would like a schematic to put it back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The original carburetor, ay least on my former 1917 Franklin 9-A, and possibly on your 1918 9-B was considered troublesome, and was often replaced, typically with a Carter BB Updraft. I've attached a link http://carbkitsource.com/carbs/tech/Carter/BB-index.html Carter BB Updraft Carburetor Carter BB1 Updraft Carburetor Used on Chevrolet COE trucks, Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth cars and marine applications. Also sold by Carter as a service replacement carburetor for earlier updraft models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckR Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The original carburetor is a Franklin Wilkinson design. You can find drawings on HHFC web site, in the members section. Search for Carburetor Group. One such drawing is #23172. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott12180 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just to throw in my two cents, I've found the original Wilkinson carburetor to be very nicely designed. It works well, is very efficient and gave me no troubles. I love the adjustable needle valve for you can not only finesse the mixture while running but you can shut off the car that way, and restart it on hot days very easily. Like a vacuum tank and six volt starter, don't give up on the original equipment. It works well when properly adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
