Does anyone know a source for choke and throttle arm assemblies/brackets for the Stromberg OF carb? I have a few carbs including the Stan Howe rebuild running on my '17 Touring. His version appears to have new choke and throttle assemblies as well as some new screws and fittings. Thanks, Joe

Scott Conger makes carb parts. I don't now if Stromberg parts are among them.

Thank you Mark, but it is hopeless

No matter how hard I used to push my parts, especially when someone asked "where can I buy these?", there was always someone who would immediately follow the posting to advertise for someone else. And none of the alternatives ever offered a lick of support specifically to the "T" hobby in any fashion other than to sell OF parts.

At one time, there wasn't a single Stromberg part that I could not make or did not in fact make, but now, good luck finding adjuster wells, idle jets or anything else beyond the usual stuff. I gave up offering any of that stuff since there was always an appetite to go anywhere else in search of parts .10 cheaper.

If people don't buy things someone offers at a fair price, then those parts will cease to be made. And when a source for parts goes away, it rarely come back.

A few OF parts I used to offer:

adjuster wells

Idle jets with hard to find gasket

Choke shafts with screws and spring, in either early or late configuration
