I was at a friends place the other day, and he showed me several unopened boxes of 5 ton (gas engine) carbuators. They were all packaged for over seas shipment. He told me to make him an offer for them. If I get them, I will offer them here first, how many of you have a 5 ton gasser? and would $50 each for a NOS carbuator be to much?
One of the few, Frank

would depend if they were the old Hollys or the newer carter carbs......................not a bad price. may take you a while to sell them though..........there like rattlesnakes in TX but not a lot of demand.

Thanks Jeff. If I can get them very low, that price will come down, because I also do not need them taking up shelf space here.

Keep me in mind Frank if you get them, i'd like to purchase one from you to experiment with, and a second to rebuild as a spare, so I'd like a total of two. Thanks, Steve

Are they the same as a 2.5 ton gasser? Just curiouse. If they will work or are the same I may be interested in one. Dont know anything about the 5 ton gasser engine...

The Zenith carb for a R6602 is bigger than the engine in some of the rice burners on the road today.

The Holley for the R6602 looks like the one on the deuce - but I think it is actually bigger, I'd have to look in the ORD 9 to be sure.

HTH,

If they are the Zenith, or one of them is, I would like to buy it or one. PM me or post up here. Heck even if they are Holleys you can't go wrong at $50, I would buy one for that price.

Frank,
If there is a Zenith in the bunch, put me down for one.
Thanks, John

Towman2277,
I have an extra Holley, takeoff, if you just want one to experiment with, I'll give it to you. I'm just across the woods, in Georgia. Let me know.

m.walker

I would like one too. From this thread I take it that the Zenith is the one of choice. Can anyone explain why this is so? I also read somewhere that they look alot different. Are they a straight swap? I have a Zenith on mine. Thanks
