Default Carburator Question-folklift

I know that a folklift carburetor which can replace the original A carb is made 9looks like a tilly). Can someone please supply me with information regarding these. A web site, source etc. would be appreciated. Thanks

Not sure what information you're looking for but I think this is the carb you are referring to?

Automotive Test Systems

Ford Model A Carburetor, new Zenith 13922 Carburetor. Replacement carburetor for Ford Model A (1928-1931) 185 to 200 cubic in. engines. Made in USA. 1 year warranty.

It is also "balanced" for air filter use. But yow will have to adapt the fuel line connections.

Its also my thoughts that the forklift carburetor most folks talk about is a 13922 Zenith.

There was a new repro Tillotson out for awhile, but, apparently there were some issues with them.

I just picked up a used one just like this in good shape at an auction for $25.00. I think it is the same as the one in the link above for the Model A conversion.
With the link provided above I can now see what is needed to convert it for the Model A. Thank you!

I'm not sure how set you are on having a forklift carb, but my first choice would be the correct, rebuilt and tested Carb sold by Bert's. 800-321-1931

I don't disagree with you Tom, but I don't feel bad about saving a bunch of bucks for an improved Zenith. My original Zenith has been cracked and welded and the mixture screw keeps moving on it's own so I think it is time to upgrade. I am comfortable with an improved model $25 Zenith.
