Hello, this carb came with my speedster when i purchased it. anyone had experience with these? is this a period carb? it has a cork doughnut float and it is a straight through design. Any and all wisdom is appreciated.
it does have "PNT AP'D FOR" stamped on it... but really nothing else
The cork float will deteriorate very fast using any gas with ethinal in it. If it is still in good shape hopefully someone on the forum will share what to coat it with so it will last. I know the parts sources have fuel proof float "blanks" that you could use your old one as a pattern and make a new one that will last.
Others will come on and share their knowledge about your carb.
thankfully the shellac on the float was lifting only lightly, so i took a stainless steel brush and brushed off the excess. I plan on dipping it in gas tank sealer before i use it.
