Kingston Models L and L2 and Holley Model G came with the car.
I'd go with the Holley G

Scott, Would that be an iron or brass G ?
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people.

Re: What carb is needed for a 1915?
Bronze body with a pressed steel bowl would be correct for your car. Also, should have a single arm choke lever (unless you have a starter added, then it would be advantageous to have the double arm version to choke from inside the car)
here is a picture or lead to the model you'd want: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=27342&p=210264&hili ... +g#p210264

Amen to that. I put a Corey Walker rebuilt Holley G on our 15 runabout when I restored it, and I love how well it runs with that carburetor! The only thing you need to watch with a G (at least for mine) is that they are easy to flood by choking it too much, more so than the NH that was on our 21 before we sold it.

I also bought a rebuilt Holley G from Corey Walker for my 1915 Runabout. It runs great and I could not be happier with it!

Re: What carb is needed for a 1915?
Here are a few more G photos. They do clean up nicely.
Note the flange around the hole at the choke end of the carburetor. Some have that and some don't. I prefer it as it's helpful in mounting an air filter.
Years ago at Iola I saw this G that was desperate for cleanup and repair. I asked the guy why the price was so high. He said, "Why, that's a three-screw carburetor!"

The inevitable often happens.

Re: What carb is needed for a 1915?
I put thousands of miles on a '15 Touring with a Holley G and had absolutely zero problems with it. They are great carbs. I've seen reports where the NH flows more volume, yada, yada. But even at 50 mph, my car showed no signs of needing more volume. I believe the ones with the depressed ring around the intake, as Steve posted, are correct for '15.

Re: What carb is needed for a 1915?
To 50 mph, the G & NH are pretty equivalent. I would even give the performance advantage to the G in that it's fuel /float level can be made perfect visually. The perfect NH fuel level is a trial & error guessing game.MWalker wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 10:56 amI put thousands of miles on a '15 Touring with a Holley G and had absolutely zero problems with it.

Its above 50, 55 where the increased air/mixture flow comes into play with the NH (swayback) & @ even a bit higher speeds for the straight thru.
