Tillotson Carburetor A 6

[green-thumbs]

Anyone know what it fits?
4 screw float chamber cover marked Tilloson
"A 6" stamped on side of carburetor
A "Gift" given me at a recent swap meet

The Tillotson’s in "Old Iron" seem only to be 2 Letters

Took another look at it
a) cork float
b) no butterfly
With no means to vary volume of charge it must be for a steady rpm motor
MAYTAG comes to mind.

Possibly an A-6A for a ’44 Stewart-Warner tank heater?

I have finally managed to post a photo or two.
All I had to do was ask the computer.
Duh

This is the carb I’m working on now. Mine is from a ‘38 light four.
Seems really simple, but with out a butterfly AND no obvious place for fuel to enter the throat and get blown into the crank I’m at a loss.
I’m going to keep searching past threads.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Yea, got that part.
Still foreign to me but….
How does the fuel get from owl to throat?
Does it?
There is a passage from bowl to crankcase but that seems more todo with the pump, to prime.
And, the carb gasket that was on the motor didn’t have a hole there.
