Cutaway Carburetor
I recently saw this on tbay, and wondered if anyone has made a cutaway T carburetor, or found an original training aid with the quality cuts like this one?

You should go for it but I believe that if you attempt to make one you'll actually make two.

Re: Cutaway Carburetor
Ed,
I have what I believe is left of a Kingston carburetor that could serve no better purpose than be cut in half, even if it is just for practice. If you are serious and I can find it, then I will send it to you for free.

Re: Cutaway Carburetor
When I was in Auto Shop class 40+ years ago, one assignment was to cut up a carburetor to be able to demonstrates how it worked. After doing the assignment with a 1960s era carburetor, I did one out of a non-salvageable Holley NH. The teacher and my classmates got kick out of it!

Re: Cutaway Carburetor
There are so many ports throughout a carburetor, you would need a cutaway of a cutaway of a cutaway in order to get a cross section of each port and where they go. I’ll bet Stan Howe has many carburetor cross sections. Jim Patrick

Re: Cutaway Carburetor
They are more common than you might think. Pretty much every company had cutaways for their salesmen and repair training.
There are quite a few of those Kingston L carbs still around and in use, the flapper and the cork are usually in bad condition. Some guy somewhere was making flappers out of brass a few years ago. Last one I did went to Ireland for some tractor I'd never heard of.
One I've always wanted to find was a Stromberg OF cutaway showing the circuits. I have photos but no brass-in-the-hand one. I have a couple other ones somewhere in a box.
Once you've done a couple thousand of them the circuits are pretty obvious, sometimes tho, the way the passage was drilled is not so obvious.
