Carter RBS 1 Barrel Carburetor: An In-Depth Guide

If you're restoring an older vehicle, the carburetor is likely to be one of the most critical components you'll need to replace or refurbish. The Carter RBS 1 barrel carburetor was a popular choice for many vehicles, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. In this article, we'll provide an in-depth guide to the Carter RBS 1 barrel carburetor, including its history, features, and how to rebuild it.

History of the Carter RBS 1 Barrel Carburetor

The Carter RBS 1 barrel carburetor was introduced in the early 1950s as a replacement for the W-1 carburetor. It was designed to be a more reliable and efficient carburetor, with a simpler design that was easier to maintain. The RBS carburetor was used on a wide variety of vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks, and even some tractors.

Features of the Carter RBS 1 Barrel Carburetor

The Carter RBS 1 barrel carburetor is a downdraft carburetor, meaning that the air enters from the top and flows down into the engine. It has a single barrel, which is responsible for metering both the air and fuel. The carburetor also has a manual choke and a throttle linkage, which connects to the accelerator pedal.
