Somebody awhile back was looking for a Stromberg RF carb. This one is on ebay, misidentified as a carb for a Model A.
It's not mine, I just saw it on my morning carb search and thought somebody might want it.

Re: STROMBERG RF CARB
Thanks for posting this Stan. Can you imagine trying to get the idle jet out of this one? I'm guessing the chances are zero. These are excellent T carbs, possibly better than the OF but nearly impossible to find with a removable idle jet. Luckily I found a NOS one at Stowe 2 years ago with most of the green paint chipped off, but still NOS and it really runs nice.

Re: STROMBERG RF CARB
They aren't that tough. I center drill the old jet out, ream the hole and tap it 5/16 - 32, make a new idle jet upper with the old tube lower soldered to it.
I fought the old ones for several years trying to get them out, finally came up with a solution.
Good carbs but I don't work on them. I sold about a dozen of them to a guy who was going to do them, I think he gave up.

Re: STROMBERG RF CARB
I had a nos one years ago. It was also green. I've seen some of the last OFs that were also painted dark green.
I dunno why.
Nice carb, I was going to run it but a guy who collects them had more money than I did, sold it to him.
