carbking Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 From what I have seen from some of the carburetors sent to us for restoration; the technique was passed down from grandfather to father to son! However, I believe some used a larger hammer than suggested in the pictures. Jon 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss Ket's self starter was truly a milestone in automotive history but it wasn't rocket science either when he developed it in 1910. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
