broadstreet3 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I'm trying to identify this early carb--well made all aluminum construction. Only markings are some part numbers on linkage and "Patented 1912". Any help greatly appreciated.

Ivan Saxton Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The "tickler" to depress the float and flood the carb for starting, with no choke valve, puts it probably early in the first decade of last century. "Well-made",----- there is no effort to match the profile of the float chamber with that of the top. Maybe it could be agricultural such as a statioary engine: There is no certainty that it is automotive.Ivan Saxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 It looks a lot like a Franklin Carb. Franklin made their own carburetors up until about 1924. The one on my father's 1911 Franklin looks a lot like that. I can get a picture of it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
