Where can I get a Winfield Carburetor rebuild kit? Barry Bowyers?
I've tried contacting 2 numbers for Barry Bowyer who I am told makes Winfield carb rebuild kits. And an email for someone I am told makes rebuild kits, but have not heard back. Does anyone know who or where I can purchase one or two of these? I tried to fire up my built Winfield banger It has a very nice unrestored S downdraft but it has been sitting for some time and it is leaking fuel from the top of the bowl. Pulled it apart and the gasket is disintegrated.
Any help would be great. Thanks Matt

Someone on the HAMB will have the answer check the thread with the Monthly Banger Meeting heading. Bob

Re: Where can I get a Winfield Carburetor rebuild kit? Barry Bowyers?
If you have a printer/scanner take the old gasket and make a copy of it. Draw in any missing parts. I found I can run paper board about the thickness of what is used in shirts and such through mine, the gasket for the bowl would be thinner anyway. Get some gasket stock the correct thickness and cut a square out. It comes rolled up so try and flatten it as much as possible. Fill in the areas of the copy of the gasket that you copied for your master. You will have a black on white copy of your gasket. Print a copy onto the gasket material and cut it out.
Or you could after filling in any missing parts rubber cement the copy to the gasket material then just cut it out. |

Even easier to just put a light coating of grease (Lubriplate, maybe?) on the part, press it down on the gasket paper leaving an impression to trim to.

On a heavy duty part, like the tranny top, you can tap the sharp edge of the casting with the gasket held in place over it and cut the gasket out. |

A few years back I purchased some from the Stirum's (not too sure of spelling) I believe they are in the FAST index. Barry was the only one that had new SR diaphragms in recent years. Northwest Speedster's would probably know of a source if there is one currently. Last edited by just plain bill; 09-05-2014 at 12:46 PM. |

I ask Steve here if he would post his contact # and he chose to do so. However, I would not feel it right to post Mr. Bowyer # on a public forum such as this. He seems to be very private person ,IMO. |

Could anyone confirm if the email address on the Model A Garage site is still the correct one for Barry Bowyer?

Tom W,
Chief taught me the "FINE ART" of gasket cutting, using a TINY Ball Pein Hammer, TINY scissors, & QUALITY cardboard. By the way, it's handy to buy inexpensive complete gasket sets, MINUS THE HEAD GASKET, to have miscellaneous gaskets on hand. (TIP# 781) I sold one gasket for enough to buy another set, I'm gonna' be RICH! Bill W. Bill W.

Sorry to drag this back to the top, but would someone be able to supply me with Barry Bowyer's contact details? I'm still in need of an SR rebuild kit.
