Carb rebuilders

I have a pair of Winfield SR carbs I need rebuilt. Do any of you know of someone with experience and parts to do them?

Frank,

Don't know anyone, but can you post a picture please? I have never seen a Winfield close up. Just a few pics in the magazines of an engine or two with them.

Thanks
Doug

Here's some pictures. The carb is very adaptable, it can be used updraft, or downdraft, by flipping the float bowl, one way or the other. The float bowl mounting is symmetrical. It has a variable venturi, the pictures didn't turn out, the bore of the carb is smooth,the venturi is formed be a "wing" in the center of the bore. When the throttle, which is wedge shaped, is fully open, it extends the venturi further into the throat of the carb. For adjustment, it has three needles, idle, transition, and a main. I'm told the idle wasn't the best on these, but for racing, it worked good.

So this is what you were doing last night instead of CHAT. The only thing that comes to mind would be to contact Inglasis (?) in Conneticut (SP?) (same city as Total Performance "T"s). I know he only deals with Webers but maybe he has a lead on some older stuff. It seems funny that you usually have ideas for all of us but when you get stumped no of us has any ideas. GPster

Race cars. Everything from a Miller 8 to a Crosley. I have a couple leads, I'll let you know.

Here are a couple of pictures of Winfield S carburetors on an original Miller-Schofield OHV head in a '29 Model A roadster.

That's the exact setup I am building, intake and all.

You might try one of the model t club sites. mtfca or mtfci. I have seen posts about winfield carbs on the model t ford club of america forum. I don't know if they have a web site, but I've seen mention of a north west speedsters group as well. Also maybe a model A site or fordbarn might turn up some info or contacts for parts or rebuilding. Hope this helps.
