Stromberg RF idle jet
Is anyone reproducing the idle jet for a Stromberg RF carburetor?

Re: Stromberg RF idle jet
The OF and RF are two distinctly different carbs. The RF was Stromberg's improved version of the OF and looked very little like an OF. It's all aluminum and has a float system similar to a Model A carb. Unfortunately the brass idle jet seems to weld itself to the aluminum body and very few are removable without somewhat destroying the jet. I've done maybe 8-10 of these carbs and they run every bit as good or even better compared to the OF and without and "runny-nose syndrome" of the OF. Stan Howe wouldn't touch these unless you could prove that the idle jet could be removed. I found a NOS Stromberg RF at Hershey and the jet came out easily so I have a perfect one for reproduction.

Bruce, can you please post a photo of your RF. I'd like to know what to be looking for.

Re: Stromberg RF idle jet
Thanks Bruce. It is quite distinct. I'll be keeping an eye out for one.
