Fish Carb Whats The Story On These ?

[34fivewindow]

This made me remember my high school, auto shop teacher, he had one and was very proud of it, kept it in a locked cabnet. Anyone here know anything about them ?

You need to google and study the entire deal. I have ran one on a couple cars and they really run very well. I have one laying around just like pictured and a fish manual as well. Neat concept , no power valve, no acell pump and they ran really good..

I believe there is one on eBay right now.

A fellow "Barner", Glenn McGlone (spelling) has run Fish carbs. on a '37 TuDor Sedan dirt track racer for years. I haven't seen or been in contact with Glenn for several years. Mike Burch may chime in here ad have some additional info on the Fish carb and Glenn.

Yes they would have to be, no choke, no accel pumps and no power valves. Fuel is metered thru the throttle shaft based on engine load . Nothing other than a gasket here and there , everything is pretty straight forward.....

The FISH carburetor was not a bad carburetor, it just didn't deliver all the hype that came out when it was marketed.
Basically, the fuel was measured out, by the action of a slider, against an inclined plane.
They were built in Daytona Beach.

I found 3 new ones around mid 60's . tried one on my roadster. It worked OK but not
as advertised. I think I still have them but where?
