Looks complete to me. I had on on a Gray 4 hp "R" and it worked fine. |

Thanks Ernie, do we know when these were replaced with the Krice? |

No I don't. However the ones that I have seen were on engines with gib key flywheels so I guess it was early on. Richard can you help here? |

As far as I have been able to discern Gray only used the above style carb in 1908 the first year of producing their own engines. Gray instruction manuals 1909 only discussed Shebler and Krice Carbs. This is from the 1910 Gray parts manual. |

Richard, I love the Krice ad about saving gasoline. Sound like a lot of other gas saver products of the last century. Ernie told me how to assemble the Krice correctly but I cannot remember what he said. Goes with the age group I guess. Glad you and Sue got home safe. |

So, does anyone know when they stopped using the Krice? |

Richard, the Gray eminence! Thank you, I thought you would have the answer. Now, since I don't need this carb, does anyone else need one of these to complete an engine? |

Carl, Yes, I do, do you have the 1908 engine for it? There is most a two cylinder Model S as well, but one cylinder is badly corroded. Even has the big ol' timer. |

To other enthuists: For the first time in 36 years I have tried and succeeded in running my two cylinder Gray with a Shieber carb. Not a great run but two moments of one and then two minutes of smoke and noise! I used two Ford Model T buzz coils but think I could just as well use two regular coils instead. Several setup conditions to change and I will try again. Regards to all Byron<[email protected]> |

Most of these engines were set up for buzz coils. If it has points they will function as a breaker point system with a condensor and coil but timing will be affected, breaker points fire when they open, buzz coils fire when the points close. If your engine is reversable, it may be difficult to reverse with the breaker point setup. |

By chance would any one have one of the Gray made carbs for sale or trade to complete a Model "R" packaged engine. Ernie;JB; anyone?? This one is identical to Richards 5/7/04 photo post including the aluminum shroud around the timer gear. |
