Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines General carburetor information

There have been a couple of threads again suggesting that there is some misunderstanding of carburetor identification. Here are some links that may aid the novice in understanding the terminology, and better selecting non-original carburetors:

Carburetor identification:
Common carburetor types and actual identification criteria

The above link lists a number of series of carburetor (not unique) and what to look for to find the unique carburetor identification.

Updraft Stromberg carburetors:
Listing of updraft Stromberg carburetors by series

The above link lists common Stromberg updraft carburetors, years produced, and physical (not airflow) sizes.

Carburetor CFM:
CFM history

This link describes different CFM ratings, and conversions from one rating to another.

Thank you for preparing and sharing these informative summaries. They are immensely useful.

God's Peace to you.

carbking, Thanks for this info. I've been working on a pair of Zeniths on an Edmunds manifold for my 270 to replace the 4bbl. Zenith specs seem to be a little harder to come by. I had a couple on a 261 in the '60s, and liked them a lot, but that was many beers ago!
