Here is another carburetor I picked up on the speculation I might be able to find the engine it was intended for. The very thick brass and rather unsophisticated aesthetics makes me think it is of local Maine manufacture. However, somebody out there may recognize it.

This carb has many of the earmarks of the one above, but would be a later model ??

Richard,
There sure is a sense of family between the two carburetors. Mine does not have a name,number, or even a letter on it. Maybe it is an early version of the Loomis. Any idea if Loomis built these for the auto market or did they intend it to be a general purpose carburetor? I really appreciate your posting that ad. I usually don't get any responses.
Hugh

I have created a separate "Old Marine Engine Carburetor" section in my data base system and have been working on it thats how i saw the resmblence in these carbs, i'm sure most Companies made their carbs to fit most all engines,I don't have any further info as yet on Loomis but will post here if I find more !

Neat. That ad answers several questions as to the intended markets, etc. Looks like the flare on mine was perhaps intended for a check valve. I am tickled that we seem to have an answer as to what it is, but, a little disappointed in that I was hoping the carburetor might have been exclusive to a particular engine rather than an aftermarket device. That's OK. Half the fun is sorting these things out. Thanks, Richard.

The key is not to make them smaller... but to make them "lower resolution". Bytes, not pixels...

How are you reducing your photo...? What program? Or are you using our photo resizer tool?

Richard, Here is another of the Loomis type carburetors similar to the one I posted earlier. This is like mine but it is larger and tagged DUPLEX in a diamond. It is on a Knox marine engine (highly unlikely that it was original to that engine)in the Owls Head Transportation Museum near Rockland, Maine. At least we have a logo to work with now.

This is the same engine in 1999 without the carb so it was added since then !

K99

I haven't seen this exact carb in an ad or catalog , sure is a good looking piece of brass !
