Re: [DML] Carbureted PRV

[Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also spoke to Charlie in Cincinatti about his conversion.  The Fish 
carberator was amazing simple and so was his installation. This most 
interesting point is that these carberartors had no off idle or 
acceleration hesitation and did not need an accelerator pump.  Not 
needed an accelerator pump would, of course,  automatically increase mpg.

Charlie said he easily got 30 mpg, which may be true based upon the 
original claims about the carberator. They also claimed better performance.

Various versions of this carb were manufactured in the 1950s, 1981-1996 
and currently in England.  There is a web siet that has some of the 
history. Here is the link.

There are also books available. on this carb  and its interesting 
history involving the oil companies and car makers.
