This old carb body turned up in a box of junk. The butterfly choke at first suggested a Keihin of some sort, and the fuel inlet/float mount must have been situated on the float bowl. But a tickler? I can only surmise that Mikuni was tasked with copying an antique Amal or something for some project. Any ideas?
I don't know a thing about it but, it is a treasure of beauty and the what have you.
ReplyDeleteget the missing parts, right this instant, then embed it into a cube of hard clear resign, attached to a lathe or however a bowling ball is made... a crystal clear bowling ball with that carburetor embedded inside. a bowling team called The Carbs.
no, Y0U shut up.
Thoughtful these Mikuni guys, they even have a pointer to tell what direction the induction flow should be.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why is another can of worms, shudder....

ReplyDeleteOld man Honda brought some American and British carbs home after a trip to the states in the late 1950s. They were widely copied and "improved".
ReplyDeleteThere's a history connection between Amal and Mikuni.Some licensing stuff.
