Carburetor identification


B series

Recommended Posts

 

I have some carburetors which as far as I know are from ex army surplus sales held during the early 1960's,  and some appear to be NOS. But I do not which vehicles they would be used on. There is always someone on HMVF who can assist.

 

Carb No 1

Zenith, Made in USA. Updraft type. 1 7/8 inch throttle bore. Cast iron body with 2E cast into body. Weighs 6kg. Has ID No :  S311 &  x79.

Carb No 2

AMAL Ltd,  360/7  This is a used carb I think, maybe for a small generator or similar.

When I have identified these carbs they can be listed on a well known auction site so that they can be used rather than stored in box for decades, I hope someone can make use of them.

Thank you Richard I will do a little research  about Triumph TRW motorcycles.

Carb No 5

This carb is unusual in that it has no makers name. It is large and "Heavy Duty " construction, the die cast aluminium body sections are twice the thickness that would be normal, and with a cast iron throttle body it weighs 2.7kg. It has a manual choke, and 1 7/16 inch throttle bore. It also has a 4 bolt flange fixing for the air intake fitting. It does have 0-520 cast into the main body, and 1-442 cast into the throttle body, no other ID.
