Mystery carburettor

bowjangles · 09-13-2013, 08:05 AM

Carburettor detectives wanted to I.D. this carb . It was on the 1985 13B engine that I bought recently. It likely is a retrofit from some other year tho.
I can't get a rebuild kit until I know what year it is, so please help. I could find no numbers on it anywhere

that's the stock carb from the old school 13b. like the 74 rx4 engine in my 7. buddy that had the car before i did i think still has the carb just like that. accelerator pump goes thru the top of the carb. might have been in the repu's too. and i believe the brand was Hitachi.

Thanks for u r help i d ing the "Mystery Carburetor". Consensus is that it is a '74 Hitachi off a RX 4 or RPU. Is was able to find a rebuild kit easily thanks to your input.

Looks like the carb on my Cosmo as well, old school 4 port 13B. Consensus agrees, and like Ted said, has the Hitachi logo.
