Fluid drive carb question

[Jeff Balazs]

Hello All and Happy Fathers' Day;

I have a Carter DTG1 carb on my fluid drive truck. It looks like it might be missing a screw. I have attached a photo of it and you can see a small hole in the air horn (inside the horseshoe shaped ridge) that looks like it might be missing a screw or fitting. Can anyone who knows' about these particular carbs shed some light on this? I have looked at all the diagrams I could find but this area does not show in the views I have seen.

Thanks, Jeff

I'd have to say that all is good Jeff. I also have a DTG1 and there's nothing there on mine either.

Thanks Merle;

That is good....for the life of me I couldn't remember what would have been missing ? Funny though it looks like "summat ought to be there"

If your carb was mated to a M-6 Gyromatic transmission (Truck-O-Matic), that screw would be there holding down the anti-stall solenoid assembly.

Wow! This group is really great.

It sure looked like it was there for a reason.......now I know why.

Thanks for clearing this up.

hi all, i have a '51 b3b fluid drive. the carburetor is a dtg1. (actual number is 6lo dtg1) 6-663 is on the top of the carb. I know it is a BB carter carb, but i've seen a lot of conflifting info on rebuild kits for fluid drives. Any one know of a seller with a complete kit?

This is where I got mine. Good videos on you tube also.
