Thanks, for posting this info. I’ve got an Air Friction carb on the shelf that I’ve been meaning to try out. Having the proper instructions will make setting it up easier.

I bought one of those to find out what was inside. It seems to run ok but I didn’t run it for enough to check the mileage claims. The venturi slides up and down, I suppose it acts as an air valve like the flapper or balls in a Kingston.

Air Friction carbs are fairly common, but other than ads, I have seen very little info or items pertaining to the carbs. A few years ago I did find a watch fob, and a hat/lapel pin. Im not sure if I ever posted a photo of the watch fob and pin. So Ill post them here, just in case .....
