This is a 1" Schebler D. The cast iron manifold has an unthreaded nipple protuding from it. The nipple opens into a jacket around the manifold. A brass collar around the manifold has an unthreaded opening into the same jacket. Exhaust gases or hot water must have circulated around the jacket through these two openings?
There is a brass tube that starts at the little slit in the flange, runs up through the body of the carburetor, exits to the outside of the carburetor just below the butterfly and then re-enters the carburetor just above the butterfly. What is the purpose of this tube? Although it looks like a factory product, maybe the carburetor was altered by somebody for a special purpose?
Any ideas on what type of engine this may have fit? One or two or more cylinders?  |

looks like an intake manifold for a 4 hp cushman binder engine.
The tube pulls the excess gas from the bottom of the schebler intake around the needle valve thus preventing the schebler drip,drip.... |

Thanks for responding. The irony of this is that I owned a 4hp Cushman binder engine back in the mid 80's. The mining industry collapsed about that time and I was out of a job and had to move. I sold the Cushman without ever knowing what the intake manifold and carburetor looked like as it was missing both. Twenty years too late.
I wondered where the Schebler D got the dribbler knickname. Now I know.
Did the jacket around the manifold circulate water or exhaust? |
