valk Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Out of bordom, I am considering conducting an experiment to identify the best Carter carbs for a '41 320 dual carb set-up. The conventional way to go, largely a result of Lawrence H's excellent work, has been to use 2 Carter 528S's, the main carb from the smaller engine, and many here have expressed satisfaction using these. I elected to try 2 of the larger Carter 490s (actually a '41 490 and a '42 533S), the main carbs from the larger engine, and while they work great when the engine is warmed up, it stumbles a bit on take offs when cold and I can't seem to get rid of it by choke adjustment. As such, I want to get 2 528s to see if they are better and if they are, I'll sell one of my larger carbs. If not, I'll pass the 528s on to some one else. So anybody got a nice Carter 528S to sell? I saw the ones on ebay but the cheap ones are too far gone and the expensive ones are, I think, over-priced. Thank you! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Helfand Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 http://vintagecarb.com/contact-us.html I purchased mine here both nos for 200 each. They were perfect needing nothing but assembly of auto choke parts still in their envelopes and mounting. great starting and zero stumble even when cold and perfect plug color.
