With a slew of Linkert carburetors to service/rebuild I started my day after Christmas with this beautiful 1937 M51.
What a gift/treat this one is! With such a rich and documented history, completely original untouched motorcycle, it surely shows with how nice the carburetor has survived after all these years!
It has sat for many years and the fuel system needed a lot of attention. Let's just say you could smell it a mile away!!!
After a nice ultra sonic bath it shows signs of continuing to perform as it was intended. I don't think I have personally ever run across one of this era this nice!

It cleaned up very well considering how varnished and fuel stained it was.
