1909 buffalo carb pictures for Vowell Art

Post by KimDobbins » Mon Sep 11, 2023 7:57 pm

Here’s a few pictures of a 1909 buffalo carb. It’s a pretty intricate carb and probably a good bit more expensive than the 5 ball Kingston. The Buffalo was used on a few early 1909 T’s.

Kim, I recently sent you a missive saying I hadn't seen your Buffalo Posting....I found it, so please disregard that PM.

This carburetor looks like it will be fun (another forward facing side draft carb....and here I thought only racing carburetors were built that way).
Although I'm still a bit sketchy as to some of the inner parts (that cotter pinned pieces in the bowl for instance, is that the floats mounting?). When I got a layout I'll post it here so you can tell me how far I'm off okay?
:)
Fun never quits!
