Looks kinda like the old 'Predator' carb, only smaller. A weird one for sure... Be real curious to see what's inside the end cover.
Does the box come with an owner's manual ?? Yep ... I asked. ×2 .... with what Crazy Steve said .... and if the damned carburetor had wires .... you bet your ass Steve would know what the hell it was !! I gotcha' Steve !! You dah' man.
@carbking calling carbking... Careful ... sketchy lookin' folks in suits & sunglasses talking into their wrist will start observing your home... get that baby in a safe deposit box Gus! Or maybe one of those bus station lockers. Give the key to some random guy on the street. (Right before they waste you, natch) Woooeeeoo!
That's one of those 100 mpg carbs that were all ordered destroyed by the Government and the oil companies. Now that you've posted it on a public site, you will be visited by nasty people.
Looks like the kind of carb a person would use on an old industrial stationary engine that used a governor. A friend of mine collected antique one lung engines, some up to 30 hp, and he had a carb that was similar to that. Most of the engines dated to the 20s and 30s. Some of the carbs on these engines were actually called air/fuel mixers and I don't know if there was a difference. Bob
It’s the long lost mythical 100 mpg carb Better remove this post before it’s too late Black helicopters are on the way as we speak
From the graphics on the box, it looks like it's aimed at the automotive aftermarket. Any other clues on the box? I found this: Idaho ADVANCE CARBURETION, INC. Company data Company number: C61697 Incorporate date: 27.07.1979 Status: Inactive Source: http://www.worldcompanieslist.com/idaho-us/advance-carburetion-inc-c61697
thanks for the help so far no other writing on box other side has same hot rod looking logo - only writing on carb is the number 1016 on each part and the aluminum ring to right in one picture was with it in box but the top of carb has that little bump so this ring doesn't lay completely flat so don't know if part of it or not as the 4bbl to 2bbl adaptor was inbox also which isn't for this type carb.
Bottom bolt holes look like small base 4 barrel but without measuring. They are threaded... confusing? Maybe have bolted to an adapter then on a manifold.
I think @Beanscoot and @anthony myrick are actually in the ballpark. There was an Advanced Fuel Systems that offered a variation of the "Pogue carburetor." Found this snippet from a Farm Show Magazine article-- And now that I've posted this, there is a black helicopter circling my neighborhood.
Bolt that sucker on an engine and see what happens. Send it to me and I"ll try it out on my mule Y Block . Oldmics
Would be interesting to see it tested on a known quantity engine. With todays' technology you just never know. Interesting stuff.
