Default Re: Detroit Lubricator minutiae

d r,
I have 3 DL carbs in the shop right now....2 with the exposed throttle shaft on the
side opp the linkage and 1 with that end closed. I have discussed these carbs and how best to get them to perform correctly thru the idle, driving and power range with
mixed ,at best, results. The other day I came across an ancient DYKEs Carburetion book and found an absolute excruciatingly detailed break down of the Ford DL carb....great phantom drawings showing fuel path during the 3 cycles. I'm guessing
this was written in perhaps 1934-5 or 6.
An aside here, the lingo and phrasing was certainly dated and reminded me of
listening to my grandfather 70 years ago.
My intention is to have this 4 page composition with drawings enlarged for

easier study. Anyone here interested ? I may not be able to do enlarge copies pro bono but happily at cost.
