gossp Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 His 1908 NC runs great on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George King III Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 That is excellent gentlemen --- What did you do for their restoration to make them work well? Did you ever install a venturi in it to make the flow better? --- gk3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMc Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Is the carburetor on the 1908 NC the same as the one on the smaller twins such as the 1911 AB that I believe George has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Cerutti Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 George. We run an original Maxwell carburettor on our LD. It makes the car run well. There is a restoration article by the late Vern Campbell in an earlier Horseless Carriage Gazette and an adjustment article by Tim Simonsma in the group.io forum which will help getting the carby repaired and adjusted. I can follow up with those documents if you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George King III Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Good evening Frank --- Thank you for your reply. I have a copy of the article by Tim Simonsma. If you can send a copy of the Campbell article, I would appreciate it. Do you know if anyone has installed a venturi in their carburetors? If they have I would like to talk to them about secondary air. Where are you located? I am in Connecticut. Thanks again. --- George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Cerutti Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I don't know of anyone fitting a venturi to the original Maxwell carburettor. I have sent an email to your private address.

Joe I do have images of an aftermarket Zenith carb that worked on a friend H, if that could help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George King III Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Thank you. I am learning more about carburetors. I am currently working on secondary air flow in carbs. Zenith seems to be a carb that works no matter what you need. Thank you for sending me information and photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Rinaldo Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I would like to some photos of Holley NH from a Model T Ford installed on a 2Cy. Maxwell. My understanding is that this is the most used conversion. Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George King III Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Good morning Steve -- The Model T NH carb came out in 1920. It is the best made carb that was ever used on the Ford. --- George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Rinaldo Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Thanks. Do you have pictures of one mounted on a Maxwell 2 Cyl. engine. I am looking for fuel pipe and throttle linkage connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
