FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I have been staring at the linkage on this old Stromberg carburetor all day. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to remove the linkage from the carburetor. Any suggestions? I know that it just can’t be that hard.

If it's a Stromberg 48 or 97, the ends of the linkage rods are spring-loaded. Pull on the ends to release them from the linkage attached to the carb. Maybe someone else will be able to explain it better...

While holding the rod with one hand, simply pull the end piece that connects to the carburetor lever away from the rod.

If your carb similar to the attached picture, it is like carcrazy says, hold the rod and pull on the spring loaded end to release the connection. I'm not sure which vehicle you are working on, but there is a rubber "cap" where the rods connect to the carb levers. Look close at the picture and you will see a bit of the rubber cap sticking out on the choke lever. The P/N is 91A-9714-A in the Carpenter catalogue.

51woodie - Interesting. I have never seen the "rubber cap" you refer to...

MG. When I bought my ‘46 Super Deluxe Coupe, the carb was over fuelling at idle. When I took the carb off, there was one of those rubbers on the choke connection, but just bits of rubber in the throttle connector. I found them listed in Carpenter’s catalogue, so I replaced them. Not to leave anyone in suspense, I rebuilt the carb and it was better, but eventually sent it and the fuel pump to Charlie NY, and now the engine runs like a new one.
Why the rubbers? Are they insulators/isolators, or just take up any free play in the connection.

Pull??
I have always found it easier to push the end away from the rod.

Hold the rod with one hand -- push the end with the other hand.

MG, I’m surprised that you’ve never heard of 51woodie’s rubbers. The answer is simple and should be obvious. He simply doesn’t want to open his hood to find an unruly mob of little carburetors running around making a mess of things.
