    No picture possible

    Hello Nate,
    unfortunately is no photo possible, cause the carby is disassembled.

    I Hope :

    No one here wastes much time looking for the correct , ' Just So ' 261 carby , it's not necessary .

    BTW : the same rebuild kit fits the 261 carby .

    O.K. Wolfgang

    Click the link , there are pictures of the carby the kit you asked about , fits .

    The top picture is an odd angle so it looks different but it's the same internals as the passenger car autochoke one shown right below .

    I hope you're now well on your way to carby health .

    Remember to soak the accellerator pump plunger in fresh motor oil for 24 hours before trying to install it .

    The mooks who ' worked ' on my '49 before I bought it , couldn't figure out how to insert it into it's well so they trimmed off the leather skirt with a razor blade then wondered why it had a worse flat spot than most babbit pounders do :rolleyes:
