This one - largely complete - offered in core condition. As is it\'d make a good display if you have a radial or WWII Allison V-12 in-line engine to hang it on. I do not see any pieces removed from it.

Condition is LISTED AS arc AS WE HAVE NO PAPERWORK TO PURPORT THE OH. I see no drop damage to it, and it has been warehouse stored since we received it. This one isn\'t locked up solid from having been out in the rain or snow or mud. It\'s not perfect, but it was at least warehouse stored in an Arizona warehouse. As a core, you\'d have to fully tear it down and rebuild it for anything other than a ground-run example engine. The open ends of the carburetor had been intentionally capped or sealed with metal tape to keep out dust and moisture. There\'s still a little packing oil on the threaded end of the altitude compensator. The main linkage moves freely and all moving parts move properly like you\'d expect them to. Again, consider this one a good display unit or parts source.

NO PAPERWORK. No tags, no other packing slips or any pedigree. Just one heavy used carb. No modifications visible. .No abuse or drop damage.Nothing appears to have been removed or raided from this carburetor. Red spray paint hash mark denoted it as a \"used\" or \"as removed\" carb from the former owners warehouse rack inventory. Still safety wired together. It\'s dirty. A good soak in a Varsol product will clean it right up. Looks like it had been OH\'ed - probably for the military - by Spartan in the 1950s or 1960s. Note the water transfer sticker on it.

The PD-12 series was a common radial engine carburetor from WWII and used by US military through the 1970s. You\'d have found this carb on nine and fourteen cylinder radials, and even similar types on the V-1710 Allison V-12. It was a multi-use pressure injection carburetor that was used on fighters, transports, bombers, and even helicopters.This one - certainly the PDK series carburetor for the 1820 or 1830 series radial aircraft engine (single row and double row).

Shipping data - and this is important. This carburetor is HEAVY. It\'s a 50 pound box measuring roughly 24-18-18 inches from UPS or FedEx Ground from Mesa, AZ, 85201 to YOUR destination.
