I am interested to know if anyone has experience with the Stromberg M1 carburetor?
The reason I ask this is that I am working on a car that takes a Zenith T4X carburetor. It is a brass carburetor. Well, not ever working on this carb, I took it apart and quickly found out the air tube is made of pot metal. Further inspection showed that the pot metal expanded and split the mold seam!
The engine I am working on is a Lycoming CE, 4 Cylinder engine.
Please let me know any suggestions for a replacement carb, experience with the M1, or any other suggestions. Happy New Year

Good carb.
The TX4 is also good.

Re: stromberg M1 carburetor
What is the Lycoming engine in?? There are probably TX4 carbs available and there may be other recommended carbs for the car.

I have two M1s. I bought them to get parts that were missing from my OF. One I purchased at a swap meet was tagged for a Pontiac. I need neither of them if someone has a use for them.

Re: stromberg M1 carburetor
The Lycoming is used on a 1924 Gardner. The big problem with the T4X is that the body takes a pot metal sleeve. Aged pot metal is a problem.
First, it swell and cracked the upper carb housing along the mold lined by over 1/8th of an inch.
You will be very surprised when you take the carb apart to clean it and snap the pot metal sleeve in half.
This is one big reason why I asked if anyone has any experience with the M-1 trying to find out if it has a pot metal sleeve as well. Also, I was trying to find another brass carb to try to keep the engine somewhat the same. Any suggestions- thanks
