Schebler DLX45

[Limey_Dave]

A guy in my club knows someone with a 1928 Harley J.
It has been giving problems with flooding,and I said the first thing to check is if the float has sunk.
When they striped the bowl off,this is what they found.



He asked if something was missing,but thinking Linkert,I thought it looked ok.Then he sent this pic and ask why the fuel tube had a threaded hole in it.



Is there something missing?
We're intending to get a copy of the Schebler manual,but in the meantime,has anyone got a pic of an exploded view of the carb parts please?

Looks all there. The threads showing on the id of the nozzle is where someone used a screw or puller of some kind to remove it. Looks like a cork float. Most likely saturated and the cause of the problem. MB

Dear Dave, there are no exploded views of the Scheblers, but an illustrated parts list in the 1928 Schebler manual. You have the Linkert nozzle spring rather than the conical Schebler one.

Contact Cotton at liberty@npoint.net and get a float that will stand up to modern fuel.

The Schebler Manual is available on eBay; this is one of several offered there.

Here is a partial exploded diagram but probably not the are you're asking about.

Thanks for the plug, Bill!

And Steve!
The spring looks good to me. I was led to believe the tapered springs appeared in June of '29 with the evil Zamac bodies.
(And there are two sizes of those.)

Dave!
Can you use a drill index to tell us the bore(s) of the nozzle, and the little bleed holes in the groove? And is the groove ~.110", or different?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks all.So far my involvement has been by phone and email,I haven't seen it in the metal,I'll get over for a look as soon as the biblical rains abate.
I've told him the float looks a bit suspect,and to check the needle and seat.He won't have the means to measure the nozzle,I'll do it when I get over there.I think slip gauges (jo blocks) will prob be best to measure the groove.

Bill!

May I ask whose catalog listing you posted?

The prices are quite reasonable...!

That is a page from a JW Boon catalog (NOS Parts); I should not have used it. It is older and he no longer sells in the USA.
Here is a link to his 2013 Euro Catalog; http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...61190604,d.cGU
Tom's NOS Parts took over the USA parts site. This shows what he has when I typed in Schebler:

I've attached a photo of my set of genuine Schebler drills and tools for overhauling carbs.
I have two sets one that is unopened in its original wrapper and the photographed set I use.
Cotton is it these drill sizes you want to know?
There's two shots of the same set with different camera settings to try and get the best shot

Look on my web site. You can download the Schebler book.

Tommo!

Those are wonderful pieces of History, and remind me of my grandmother's 19th Century surgeon's instruments.
(Graciously, we have gentler, kinder cleaning methods today...)

I very much appreciate the photos, but our problem is identifying the different nozzles,
not only to be certain that it is the correct and un-altered nozzle, but then to create new ones.

Using the butt end of drills to avoid damage, I have logged a confusing variety, and only when identical nozzles occur in most examples of a model can I assign any specs.

And I don't believe a DLX45 has crossed my humble benches....

Thanks to all,

....Cotten
