What years and models was this Schebler H-112 carburetor used on? Yes, Indian but I would like to break it down more

Many models shared the bowlstem 112 casting number, Bjind....

The model number (if there is one) is stamped upon the top of the intake bulge, like this HX160:

Looking forward to more pics,

Cotten,

No such marking on this carb; in that location. There is a faint H-11 on the side of the carb.

I little history on this carb. The previous owner had a fully restored 1914 Indian Chief, and AACA , winner at Hershey, PA; not AMCA . And more 1914-1921 parts. That owner had passed.

The carb looks really good inside, nice float, needle and seat, no crud. Or damage.

Off topic of this post. but also got a Linkert M 352 at that same location. I just sort of googled the M-352 and found M-352's have their own stories too; at least the "internet says so" I will get pics of it.

Lots of HXs were unstamped, Bjind,

It could even have been a harley replacement, as well as production for any of the other dozen or more American marques
of the era,

Have you tested that nice float in modern fuel?
"Damage" of most concern is wear of the throttledisc upon the body bore, and I would not declare no damage if there is an 'eyebrow' of wear producing obvious daylight around the disc when closed.

A lot of 352s survived as NOS, as they were the last Indian Linkerts produced, with few production bikes to put them upon.

Cotten,

Oh I haven't tested the float with modern fuels. I am not guaranteeing anything, OH My! I just meant to say, it does look very good, No shrinkage or drying out to see, BUT, as/is as we say.

I will look at the bore and throttle disc today

The outside of the carb look pretty good too,

The last owners 1914 Indian looked pretty good too. I was second highest bidder on that; but being close at an auction doesn't get you a trophy.

Interesting thought on the M- 352

[T. Cotten]

If the float is cork, Bjind,

Don't bother testing it, as they cannot survive modern additives, even in the absence of ethanol.

Cotten, I found the small number, as you can see it is on the bowl, it shows H 1 and the 1 is about half worn off, Possible a third digit, but looks really worn and shiny after the first 1. Yes the first 1 is only about half there. Something was rubbing at that spot a wire or hose or whatever. Maybe even 2 numbers worn off

[T. Cotten]

The stamps are definitely unique, Bjind!

A search of my pic library shows nothing like those in that position upon bowls, so I appreciate the addition to my collection..
The 1 does not appear worn, as the nickel looks so pristine: Just typical of hand stamping.

The polished surface before plating (as opposed to the cast surface of the body) is quite typical of the 3/4" and 1" Model HXs, but we still have little clue as to its intended application.

Face it, many many HXs were 'generic'.

Cotten.
OK, Thank You for Your insight.

Deciphering these carburetors, that were made over a hundred years ago; is very interesting.

Do You only study/repair motorcycle carbs? I have a Holley carb, that looks like it was on a 1962-64 Ford 406 cu in or a 427 cu in. Have had it for a few decades,. And of course it has History too.

Do You ever make it to the Oley AMCA show? Like to talk to you in person.

I wouldn't know a Holley if it bit me, Bjind!

Davenport is the only function near me, and I almost didn't make it this year...

I enhanced the picture. Hope it helps.

Thanks, Deebs,

But unfortunately the casting numbers have no cross-references in any of the parts lists I have encountered so far.

Yes, Thank You Deebs. My photo imagery; needs some work
