Technical Flathead Carb add on What is it?

I bought a pair of brand new French Flathead Carbs. Their origin is the french Army.
They are Zenith NDIX 32 as used quite often but have an add on that i don't know what it's for.

Any Ideas ? Thank you in advance.

We used them on single & dual carb VW hot rod stuff before the Holley "Bug Spray" came out. OEM on some 356 Porsche.

 

Thank you 302GMC what i need to know is what is the add on is.......

 

With the seal wire on it is probably some type of governor

 

Cheers - but what is a governor?

Mario

 

Limits throttle position, speed and/or RPM. In other words, shit can it. Anti-hot rod part.

 

Ok! i know what you mean.... Yeah needs to be discarded!

A governor can be used for 3 general applications, it can keep you from over revving your motor and control speed, like in a commercial truck. The other application that it can be used for is on a stationary motor like say a generator or a pump and it will keep you from logging the engine or killing the engine when it goes from no load to load.

it is basically a speed or load controller.

You should be able to remove it, You are liable to have to plug a vacuum hole or two.

 

Thank you Porknbeaner!

I am going to set them up on my Chrysler Flat 6 engine. So their intended application doesn't make sense anyway.
