Linkert M5, Rare One Of A Kind 1936 2 Bolt ,new Nickel / Rebuilt W/warranty on 2040-parts.com

M5
1936-1939 E, EL
This will fit 1936-1939, but this version has me totally stumped. This body has to be one of the earliest known M5 carbs and would have to have been made in 1935. This is a 2 bolt air cleaner body -" 2-338", hand stamped "3"( NOT 4 ), and only has the 2 drill plugs, no soldered in plugs. It also has the extremely thick "boss" on the bowl stem as seen on the M2,M21, & M31 2 bolt carbs, but this one is definitely an honest M5  2 bolt body, as  that was the only 2 bolt body with a machined & pinned surface for an OHV  bowl. All other Linkert & Beck bodies with 2 bolt flanges , except M5 & late M31 castings, did not even have the casting for the OHV bowl and were just round in that area. , and only the M5 had a machined & pinned surface for an OHV bowl. Would have been for one of the very,very first Knuckleheads. A very, very rare & unusual  carb, possibly one of a kind. May even be an experimental M5 carb. Definitely the earliest OHV carb body I have owned since 1965.
This has a 7-64 plated brass bowl, plated brass bowl nut, plated brass choke disc, early high & low speed needles, OEM plated throttle lever, and even an original brass venturi ! Excellent condition, only major touch up to the carb was machining a light ding out of the top of the bowl lip ( gone, totally ). All else is a normal rebuild - rubber ducky, new float lever, plated pivot pins, plated steel tip needle & seat, plated plugs, etc. #459
ALL of our rebuilt Linkert & Schebler DLX carburetors carry a 90 day warranty.
   
And ALWAYS -especially with these early rides,  go by your manual, shut off your gas when  you are not running your bike.
