[colt 1911]

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5335845805&icep_item=253374294776 just put one of these on my 1971 hs40 and it works really well

I have used this carb many times too, and it does work well. There is one small modification needed though. On the side there is a very small vent hole. that needs to be enlarged to 1/16" (just using a drill). That will help. Markus documented this somewhere else on this site. cfh

Will that carb work on my 1971 Rupp Scrambler with an H35 3.5 hp Tecumseh that now has the original diaphragm carb ?

yes but your bike has a diaphragm carb for a reason, i suspect. you probably don't have an angled intake...

They dont make a diaphragm carb anymore and the one I have is clogged. Any suggestions as to what to do ?

You can use that carb. It just won't sit perfectly straight. I have one on my Rupp and it works just fine.

buy a re build kit from a small engine repair shop and clean and rebuild the carb. dont forget to add an in line fule filter and a fule shutt of as well as add some stabil fuel stabilizer to your gas to help keep the carb healthy afterward.

Done and runs like a top. Had a tough time but got it cleaned out. starts and runs great. all original, it will be for sale at the show in Oley Pa. thanks for your input.
