Correct. The extra fuel needed to maintain the correct A/F ratio was added at the carb. And it actually worked! Must have been hell to set the idle, however.

This is brilliant stuff, those old racing motors would still be passing plenty of todays .
the 50, and 60,s stuff was so alluring to people, it had a bit of style to it and you could see what you were getting.
Todays stuff us all about hiding it away out of sight so you dont seethe crap its made of.
The Little motors polished up must of looked incredible at the time, and very simple to work on, unlike todays throw it away and buy a new one type of ownership.
whatever happened to this company ?
filthy phill,
Your post has me wondering what your meaning of "Todays stuff us all about hiding it away out of sight so you dont seethe crap its made of." Hubbell was a little before my start in racing, and I assume it was a race engine in the ALKY/now PRO division. Today's PRO engines are designed and manufactured in similar fashion as Hubbell. Are you referring to Stock/OPC race engines?
no I mean the Average family boater engines with all the fancy covers hiding very poor material and workmanship. I call them the plastic fantastic's.
Got it, thanks.
Did Hubbell produced a lot of race engines? It appears Hubbell made a complete race engine.
Would be nice to have the history of hubbell
I would think those bypass cover reeds wont open at idle?
