I’m sure some of you appreciate VGG video adventures, maybe not. I especially liked this one as I learned about a model A.
Enjoy

Carb bowl looks the same. Would you believe Auto Zone has a rebuild kit for them?

My first car was a cherry red '32 Chevy 5 window coupe. I bought it for $75 and drove it to school when I was in the 11th and 12 grade. Only put gas and oil in the car, never broke anything then sold it for $150 after I graduated, much to the surprise of my Family and friends, not that I sold it but that I actually graduated. 63 years later they still don't believe I graduated. Now I drive a '27 Model "T" Roadster.

Similar carbs were used on tons and tons of engines..

Zenith....Marvel Schebler

Updraft 1 barrel

Next to nothing inside them.

A bowl gasket, float ,needle and seat and usually a removable emulsion tube and some plugs small gaskets.

Some are cast iron, some are more modern material

Continental 4 banger flat heads had them.....
Old Lincoln and Miller welders.....

You'd have to be a little off kilter to attempt to drive that thing that far with numerous problems.....or even without problems...

I like to put VGG on the TV in the shop and let it run. Sometimes some pretty neat stuff on there. Plus love his sense of humor.

I like how he created his own vocabulary for engine bits. It’s probably what we would call parts if we never read the real names.

Even more cray cray, but it’s all about the hits.
