DGAV Carb plate
donut - 12/2/06 at 03:56 PM

Has anyone got a throttle plate for a DGAV carb? In the pic i need to turn the carb 180 digrees as the plate fits the other side. The smal pic (A) is the type of thing i need.

Thats a 38DGAS carb (smae as the one I have) both barrels open simultaneously.

As for a throttle plate, I cant help. Sorry.

You can convert the old plate to the new configuration, with a little handy work with the Hacksaw.

Looks like you have bought yourself a DGAS with the choke flaps and mechanism removed. Good choice. MKIndy7's answer is one way. i.e. just pull from the other side. Alternative is to route the cable to pull from the original place but below the rod rather than above. Requires rotating the rod 180 degrees and re bending the arm.
BTW the carb is correctly positioned on the manifold. Rescued attachment Bracket.JPG
