Hello Flackmaster. thanks for the photos. I would like very much to buy the EE-14 carburettor plus the choke thermostat from you. It will go along way in helping me to complete my restoration and have a good useable car. Plese reply with your price and method of payment required.
Regard and thanks. dnielsen

See new thread regarding 1935-1940 carburetor commentary.

G'day again dnielsen,
for including your '38 Eight 4 Door Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry.

It is hard to tell from David picture (not his fault!) but if the bimetallic spring is corroded it will not function correctly. You can get a new spring from Max Merritt for what I think is a reasonable price. However, shipping may be a problem.

Cheers,

Tom

Hello,Thanks for the info. Late last year I was corresponding with Max Merrit re choke thermostat. At that time nothing was available, as was the position at Kanter. I decided that I would attempt to make a small number of these thermostats, using the one I got from Flackmaster,as an example. To date I have made the basic unit and only now need the bi-metallic coil to complete them. I have not been able to get a small [or any] quantity of this material. However after many experiments I have now reached the stage where I need to investigate the possibility of joining the 2 metal strips by riveting them together, as was done in the early cays of bi-metallic strip manufacture.
However I have not given up on my search for the material. I will also contact Max Merrit.

I have a 38 and it is missing the choke thermostat. I had no idea what one was supposed to look like until I saw the pictures you posted.


I think I can fabricate one now.
