Mechanical carburetor adjuster

Post by Unprr » Fri Jun 23, 2023 7:28 pm

I was at a local Hill Climb and as I was looking over the cars, I found this unique mechanical carb adjuster.
Has anyone ever seen or used one. If so, anyone have one for sale.

Looks like it would be easiest to use if you were laying on the floor! For a more finished look, adequate for what it is called upon to do, a nice gearset that is sized and designed for the forces encountered can be found here: https://www.mpcomponents.com/wp-content ... /Gears.pdf beginning page 46
