It is labelled a Carter W1. I can find listings for it in some of the American catalogs, but I can't seem to find any Canadian based info on it. Any suggestions? | | |

NAPA should have parts for it, and prolly could get you a reman unit as well - there aren't many CDN repro parts suppliers, but you might give Scotts Super Trucks in Alberta a call, they might know sources

They all have come back with the same thing... Carter W-1 did not exist (At least in Canada). My dad's guy said to get the casting numbers or the tag numbers off of it and he would use those... no numbers... no tags.... Just Carter W-1. The Y or YF carb kit does not fit it.. that is what all the catalogs we have used point to.
Thanks for giving me some direction though | | |

Hope this helps

They made many different W1's for various applications. The problem with W1's is the bowl covers, some only had 2 screws and the pump was hard to put in.

#47813 07/20/2005 10:08 PM | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Give Gary Automotive a call in Edmonton if you still can't find anything. He's got and can get parts dating back to the 30's, only mechanical parts though. Lots of the mechanics and even Napa referred him to me. He can get all the obsolete parts. (780) 439-0399. Good Luck. | | |
