My 1915 came to me with a Holly NH carburetor installed and an uninstalled, unrestored, Kingston L carburetor.
I believe the Kingston L carburetor would be a typical carburetor for my car when it was new.
What are the pros and cons of each carburetor?
How hard is it to rebuild a Kingston L?

Re: Kingston L vs Holly NH
Meh...It's an OK carburetor...Presume you mean L-4.
to repair: A screwdriver, adjustable wrench and a modest purse
If you're used to choking the NH, you'll likely do that a little less with the Kingston. Some folks say they get a little better mileage...my experience is just the opposite

Re: Kingston L vs Holly NH
Kingston L 1915 to 1917 (cast bowl with float valve mounted in it)
L2 1917 to 1920 (float valve was moved to body and steel bowl)
L4 1921 to 1926 (bronze then cast iron bodied)
L2 1917 to 1920 (float valve was moved to body and steel bowl)
L4 1921 to 1926 (bronze then cast iron bodied)
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

I was referring to a Kingston L, not L-4.

Re: Kingston L vs Holly NH
And I somehow entirely missed that. My appologies.
