Thanks Louis—The MS series type F is the same as mine except the idea speed system. I can use info for all other specs.

Jim,
Don’t know much about that carb but Joe Poole may be able to help you with some parts if you find you need them. You can’t contact him through this we site. He’s in Georgia and is one of the nicest, most honest guys you’ll ever deal with.

Good luck!

The sum of my knowledge of MS series
1) hard to find
2) when found they are filthy, and parts are missing
3) parts are out there…somewhere
4) Mercury phased out MS in favor of AJ 3,AJ10 and AJ8 in 1941
5) Complex design

Jim, I wish you the best of luck in your search for information. To be completely honest I’m being selfish as I have the same carb on my WB3 and so far haven’t found any more info than you have.

Good luck
