Cross Country Carburetor? 4 Attachment(s)
Any opinions on whether this carb is worth anything? It's dirty, but looks good on the outside. I never heard of that brand?

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? Check with a carb guy as I don't think you will be able to get parts to rebuild it.

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? That's the aftermarket parts-store Marvel Scheibler carb. Real simple, runs and idles surprisingly well. You have the all-important irreplaceable choke driver, usually broken or missing. You also have the filter inlet fitting. Filthy but nice. You can get a gasket set, nothing more. I have a bucket full of them, I won't insult you by telling you what I paid each, but it wouldn't buy you dinner.

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? It does look like an MS , but, I can't read the name on it, can you ? I like it and I would certainly keep it and try to get it into good shape. I have several MS carburetors but none have a name on them like yours has.

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? The name on the side is "cross country" like in the title of his post. I don't know about them, but if nothing else cleaned up it would make a nice display price.

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? Be careful cleaning it: that "cross-country" logo is a decal !

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? OH, OK. Now I see it ! Makes sense. Duh.

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? I seem to recall Sears Roebuck using the slogan Cross Country for the auto parts they sold quite a few years ago.

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? As mentioned, it is a Marvel carb. Sears slapped their 'CrossCountry' trademark on a lot of auto aftermarket stuff.

Re: Cross Country Carburetor? The choke driver for that carb is pretty easy to deal with.Take an old 1/4 drive deep socket the same size as the shaft,(9/32 comes to mind)and cut the part off that isn't hexed inside.Bore a new repro driver to the outside size of the socket,and squish it in there with a vise.I guess you could put in some JB weld or the like if you're in love with that kind of stuff,it isn't going to move anywhere.You will never see the modification.
