Looks that I will be in need of two carburator kits for my 262 Twin-H. Where would be the best place to order them? Since the car is 200 km away, what should I ask my son to look for me, brand of the carbs? ( I think it's Carter), numbers on it, anything else? Thanks. ( 11h40 PM here so, I'll check for an answer tomorrow!

    Give them the carb #. Excellent people to deal with.

    They should be Carter WA-1 carbs, but if your manifold is truly for a 262, the carbs will be different than the ones on a 308. Hopefully, they have "tags"- little brass tag on one of the screws holding the top on, with a number that is needed to know jet size, etc.

    Anybody know the tag # of carbs for 262 twin-H?

    Wasp tag numbers are 2114S. If it is a hornet twin H it will be 968 or 2113. Can ship out kits today at $45 each includes shipping. Russ 309-838-5551

    Thank you all for the hints. Sorry for the delay to answer as I could not get my son to go check the car by Friday. Finaly, the number on the brass tag reads:
    2013S C-3. So, Russ,I went to look at your web site ( pretty nice site by the way) and noticed the number corresponds as for a Jet carb. Anyway, I will give you a call on monday. Don't know if it's a Holiday in the US but here it is our Thanksgiving Day. If it's closed on Monday I will call tuesday. Thanks again all of you guys. Michel.
