Mpgp1999 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 After receiving the latest club newsletter I quickly researched for an aftermarket carburetor. I found this one. I would like to know if it will fit. 1926 12v ga starter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-BRASS-STROMBERG-CARBURETOR-MODEL-MD-VINTAGE-CAR-PART-CARB/372402570739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 My question, having also just received the club newsletter is why research for an aftermarket carburettor when the originals are easily available, very inexpensive to buy, simple in their operation and work very well? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB26 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I didn’t get that newsletter. But that’s what I was going to ask. What’s wrong with the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpgp1999 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Absolutely nothing is wrong with the original. Nor the spare I rebuilt. If it goes with my car I have to collect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpgp1999 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 The listing ended because I bought it. I would still like to know more information about this carburetor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpgp1999 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Here is another carburetor that is on a 25. I do not know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The Detroit Lubricator (Stewart) model 25 is an excellent carburetor for its day. The Stromberg MD is an excellent carburetor for its day. The Detroit Lubricator has the advantage of being original. The Stromberg MD is somewhat more user-friendly from a rebuilding standpoint, and parts are somewhat easier to acquire for the MD than the 25. Cannot really go wrong with either. Jon.

So is that why they newsletter recommended it? I just renewed my membership a few days ago, so I haven’t received the newsletter in some time.

Mpgp1999 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I got the carburetor. It’s a little rough. I am not entirely sure how it functions. Especially the two threaded holes on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpgp1999 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 For anyone who reads this post and knows about the standard Stewart carburetor, there motor lags. The carburetor farts and pops. It is recently rebuilt. I recently rebuilt the vacuum tank because it was pouring raw fuel down the vacuum line.

Mpgp1999 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Not yet, I haven’t figured out what the two holes on top is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB26 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Oh. Hopefully someone has the info. I’m anxious to hear the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I think you will find those holes are threaded. They had adjustment screws in them and the little clips keep the screws from turning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
