Linkert Carburetor Service

[Peter Cooke]

I hope this one appears,

Got it now thanks.

Pics can be deceiving, Duke,

Even when focused.

Although it gives the impression it was a pretty recent 'rebuild','
the only things I can be certain of is the Starklite float and -50 floatvalve.

Even if everything else was in order, the boatanchor float would be enough to curiously varnish-foul as shown.
(But I see no #13 stamping; Was the throttledisc installed backwards?)

Cotten,

The throttle disc was installed correctly.

The treat to me was how clean the entire carburetor was in general.

Witness marks of previous service were very minimal, especially for the vintage year. No damaged threads, no repaired threads, no body distortion, broken flange surfaces, modified fuel circuits, modified calibration, etc...

It's the nicest carburetor of its era I've personally been blessed to come across in my 39 years of service on Harley Davidsons.
