M&H Carburetor

[David Bryant]

Not sure if many here have used Martin (M&H) Carburetors in the past? Very unique after-market carb design. Manufactured by Martin Enterprises.

This particular model is a 9000 Series custom fit for an OPS 45 Marine engine rear-plate inside-diameter.

supposedly yields very linear function through power-band

Ran them back in the 80's, worked very well.

Dick Jones showed me one a few years ago at a race.

It is inspired from the early 1900's Simplex Crain eng.

I was privileged enough to rebuild on of theses carb many years ago and recognized the design.

yeah, I have a few of these carb's, brand-new never-used (purchased back in 1986). I'm considering setting them up for my OPS 45 Marine engines and running in a Youngblood mono.

I'm not sure if they would work well on any of my current Picco P45R or CMB 45 VAC engines? Not sure if they provide enough volume?

I've attatched an original M&H carb diagram, pretty neat little mechanism. Intrigate. Do to asymmetrical motion of control arm the user must install a control horn to provide proper articulation of carb valve open/close motion.
