Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor
I have bought two rebuilt marvel carbs off ebay from a guy in Texas. He has them all the time, just bolt on and go they work awesome. He also sells rebuilt tillitsons.

Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor

No, there is only the patent numbers on it.

Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor
I really like these carbs. I have rebuilt several from scavenged parts and they run out great. More information on these could only be better.

Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor
If I remember correctly not all of them will interchange. I would have to double check on my spares though...

Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor
No number, just patent number. Oops, found number on mounting flange surface, HF 1 1145. Looks like a date stamp. Patent Number is 1,536,043. Also, in bottom of float bowl is # 10-A-126, probably mold number and on underside of top cover, # 227-104. ID of venturi is 0.8125 / 13/16".

Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor
Hi 1955cj5,
On closer inspection, there is number stamped into the mounting flange, mounting surface. It looks like it might be a date stamp, HF 1 1145, if that is any help. Also, the patent number is 1,536,043. GMCPASO |

Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor
I have purchased Marvel Carberators from JR also and am very pleased with them. He also will take the time to visit about any model A issue. Nice guy.

Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor
I have one I don't use since the float once stuck and scared the bejeebers out of me. I recall they require a slightly different pipe fitting from gas line to carb than either the Zenith or the Tillotson. Yes? No?

Re: Looking for a Good Soul to Detail the Marvel Carburetor
Yes, there is a brass adapter. I had a slight leak there after installing. I reinstalled last night with a small amount of Hylomar on the threads. Hope to not see leaks when I start her up today.
