So what's a D40 big window carb going for these days (1 Viewer)

[thecrazygreek]

I have one in decent shape, going to go fuel injection. This is on my 64. Sorry to ask but prices are hard to find.
Also have an early master.

Sd 40 in that shape, it will take auction to decide. Tin cup master, Best part is the cup. They went to plastic so original tin cups can be exchanged on a new cylinder , becoming original.

top on your master cylinder is missing the breather cap

^ This. But the tin cup in good shape is harder to find than a cap with breather cover. Or so I would think. One of my tin cups leaked, but the cap was OK. Had to hunt up a better cup.

Last carb I bought like that was $250 about three months ago. The way classifieds have been working just list it for 1$ and let the PM bids decide. Yes I’m aware this is not how the classifieds are suppose to work but that’s what’s going on.

That is really happening? Man, I've been missing out with my fixed pricing!

@thecrazygreek

you stated in another thread the carb sold.

would you enlighten us to the selling price on the carb?

 

[Indygbd]

I have purchased a few and paid more than 250.00 for them. Usually 400.00 range. The last one was rebuilt by Mark and never used. That cost me 550.00 for reference.
Below are photos of 2 of them.

Does it have the blue/grey plate behind the sight glass? The plate is probably the hardest part to find and I'm sure worth more if it's there. Most of mine that plate was MIA when I got them.

were they only they blue? I've got at least 1 that is grey. so I was thinking they were either blue or grey. different years??

I'm not sure what years got which color since so few I gotten even had a plate. The few I have not even sure where I got them anymore. Possibly stripped from junkyards. Seems half the early cruisers I've bought had Rodchester or Carter carburetor on them. Thought grey was earlier blue but not sure.

rumor is that the blue ended around 65

Not a carb bump or question, but a tin cup resto question .


@andybudge what is that coating on your tin cups and how was it applied?

@oregon fj not sure if you’re still playing on this forum but did you do anything more coating wise to your tin cups other than maybe just polish them?

I think I soaked them in a can of POR Metal Prep. That strips the rust and leaves a thin phosphate to prevent flash rust.

 

[middlecalf]

Thanks @oregon fj I think I have a can of that. Was also thinking about Tinning butter that has lead in it that will leave a coating of tin/lead.
