    Early Indian Primer Cup

    Seeking an original "primer cup" for an early, 1908-1909 and later, Indian motocycle. Believe it to have a 1/4" X 28 threaded bottom that threads into the top of the intake valve dome.

      I have some primer cups from a teens stash that I got overseas about a dozen years ago. Do you have a picture of what one should look like?

        Thank you for the reply. The first photo is a reproduction primer cup. The second photo is of a late 1908 - 1909 Indian diamond frame twin model. The third photo is of a 1909 Indian loop frame single model. The primer cup has 1/4" X 28 threaded bottom that threads into the top of the intake valve dome as pictured in photos two (2) and three (3).

              Yes, but in a round about way. That guy had had them but sold all of them to someone else late Thursday afternoon. I found out who purchased them and purchased a couple from him. Thanks for the lead. They were NOS. Just perfect! Installed it before I had the cycle judged on Saturday. Just perfect!!!
