Default eBay Winfield

Anyone here buy the Winfield carb on eBay?
Outa my price range. Aussie dollar is looking like a peso at the moment. Don't know why.

I bid on this Winfield SR BB but was out bid by $10 at the last second, (probably using Auction Stealer software). I did buy a Winfield SR BB with a matching Winfield downdraft manifold earlier this year for $800 on eBay. The carb will require a complete rebuild, but was complete. The going prices for Winfield S and SR carbs these days is between $500 and $800, unfortunately..... It will be interesting to see what impact a Winfield downdraft carb will make on a touring engine...

IMO that is too pricey for a BB Winfield. CC or D, OK.

Hi Jim,

I noticed the D's go for a fortune. I think one went for $1500 maybe with a manifold. They look huge. What does one do with one?

updraught, D size Winfields were used on bigger engines, even truck engines. Today they would only be used on modified engines where higher HP and RPM will come into play. I used an S-CC-D on my 4-port Riley for awhile. It ran good but had a flat-spot right off idle. That carb had been modified to run alcohol, as on race cars. I still don't know if the flat spot was because of the mods, or the carb was just too big for the engine???

Jim,

You should have used a Winfield SR-CC-D which has an accelerator pump to eliminate the flat spot after idle.
Winfield S carburetors did not have the accelerator pump.
The pump was at the bottom of the float bowl and vacuum actuated.
The amount of fuel squirted was also adjustable with a needle valve at the top of the float bowl.

I have a B Winfield for sale in the classifieds with no interest here or on the Hamb.
Complete and in good shape.
I know the smaller sizes go for less, but it’s perfect for a mainly stock A engine.

I didn’t want to, but I guess ebay is the place to sell.

Terry, I didn't/don't have any SR's. I have rebuilt a few for others, so know about them. I ran an S-C-D for years on my Winfield yellow head, and it ran great all the time. One year I returned from the Winfield Weekend on 1 tank of gas, 260 miles!

"Of particular interest, they were originally installed on movie actor Clark Gable's stunning black 1929 Ford Roadster, which was driven by Gable in Hollywood and surrounding cities prior to World War II."
