Precision cast and machined aluminum
Works with stock generator/mount (and aftermarket brackets)
4-3/4″ carb centers
Provisions for original draft tube and oil filler
Accepts common 3-bolt carburetors
Overall Height: 7-1/2″
Draft Tube Hole: 1.25″
Oil Filler Tube Hole: 1.39″
9 Super 7® Primary Carbs –
Speedway Motors has incorporated many improvements in the 9 Super 7® while maintaining the Stromberg 97 carburetor’s original look. Features such as the choke assembly, accelerator pump, main jets and cosmetics have all been faithfully retained. Additionally, each carburetor is individually flow tested and inspected for leaks. Perfection is the result! Upgraded internal parts include; the float, needle, and seat. Jetting and power valve settings remain as they were for the original 97 carbs as well as the cfm and vacuum specs.
The 9 Super 7® makes setting up a multiple carburetor induction system easier than when Strombergs were available new. All that’s required to do so with our kits is a Uni-Syn syncing tool and a little patience. Be sure to include the Secondary 9 Super 7® when installing 3-carb setups. Our 3 Carb kits come with one primary carburetor and two secondary carburetors while the 2 Carb kits are both primary carbs. See our Multiple Carburetor Tech Tip for more information on using the 9 Super 7® in a 2×2 or 3×2 carb set-up.
On the primary 9 Super 7® carb the throttle shaft extends from carb body .983″ and has the hole on the end to pin the linkage. There is a brass sleeve that the throttle shaft rotates in that extends from the carb body .400 and this leaves the useable throttle shaft length of .583. There is sufficient room for progressive linkage and the manual throttle linkage that rotates over the sleeve.
