Hi All,
This is my first post and I apologize in advance as I am a novice trying to learn as I go. After some diagnostics on my 1974 Palmer P60 engine it was determined that the carb probably needed a good cleaning and maybe a rebuild. My usually reliable mechanic took the carb back to his shop to do the work. To make a long story short, he "lost" the carb so now I am in need of a new one (along with a new mechanic...).
I'm pretty sure the carb from my palmer is the same as the early model carbs from A4's. Looking through the online catelog I see that I can buy a new model carb but have to also purchase the carburetor flange kit (FCAR_13.2_166), scavenge tube (FCAR_13_60.0), and flame arrestor adapter (FCAR_08_59). S
So I have 3 questions.
1. Does anyone know if the Zenith carb (FCAR_01_53) will definitely work for my palmer? My palmer manual doesn't have model numbers.
2. How can I tell if I definitely need the adaptor items for a new carb? I do know that the old carb I lost definitely had a flame arrestor. That probably means I need it for the new one I order right?
3. I don't see the flame arrestor adapter (FCAR_08_59) listed in the catelog. Is this the same as FCAR_12_176.3 possibly?
Thanks in advance and I hope it is alright that I am posting here since I have a Palmer and not an A4.
