Can anyone help with the intended use for this Schebler? Could it be marine, auto, ? We got it with a bunch of marine engines and parts, but?

Rotating and enlarging the last photo it appears there are two arms moving along a geared quadrant with metering screws to precisely control their movement around the curve of the quadrant; would such very fine metering be normal and what are the ports controlled? A closeup of the top of the carb right way up would help, also one of the throat from above. The hinged guard suggests a location like a motorcycle, but how big is this carb? I've never seen a very small Model R, if this is a Model R? |

Its a Schebler Model L, they were advertised for marine engines on some of the higher end engines begining 1913. It was a new technology that incorporated a needle valve that progressively opened as engine was brought up to speed ! It was the successor to the model R.
I have never seen an ad that had the protective cover over the needle valve mechanism, I would guess that a tractor, bulldozer or similar equipment with exposure to debris coming from the side would be the application ?
This L carb has an adapter on the intake flange to allow fitting to pipe thread.These carbs also came in right or left applications so photo is not backwards !

Thanks guys. That nails it as a Model L. Shows up on cars, trucks, marine & tractors by the looks of it. Quite an intricate set of adjustments to take care of.
Thanks again,
