Wanted: Drain tube for UU-2 Carb

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

I am in need of the drain tube (copper) that screws onto the bottom of the bowl (on the UU-2 carb)

and goes down through the splash pan.

Somehow, the one that was on my carb went missing.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi, Joe:

The drain is also missing on my 1930 Model B. In place of the drain is a brass pipe plug.

I have similar thoughts of adding one, and wonder if a brass fitting and copper fuel line would satisfy its purpose and originality? You probably have a copy of the 1930 parts catalog, but if not, here’s a snapshot of that tube for reference.

Regards,

Carl

Carl,

Thanks so much for the diagram. Where did you get it from?

Funny you should mention the parts catalog.

I do not have a copy YET. In fact, as advised by George Teebay (great guy BTW),  I plan on calling the AACA Library today.

That’s where it is supposed to be available.

Thanks again.

BTW, if you do decide to make one for your car let me know how it turns out.

Carl,

See the email I sent to your personal email

Joe,

If you can’t get the parts manual otherwise, I can get a digital copy to you. It is too large a file to e-mail and would have to be done using a file transfer site.

Dave,

Thanks.

Could you explain what a file transfer site is and how to use it?

Joe

I will need your e-mail address which I can get off the website.  I upload the file along with your e-mail address to a service.  Once the file is uploaded, the service sends you an e-mail with a login to retrieve the file. It is around 400MB I think, so it takes a while to download unless you have very fast internet. This will be the same scan that is at the AACA Library.

Okay.

My email is [email protected]

I will be looking for it

Thanks

Thanks Joe and Dave.

I also uploaded the 1930 arts Catalog to Dropbox to link to Joe. (Many thanks for forwarding this along to me in the past, Dave!)

By the way, is there a link to this parts catalog/resource on the PAS server/society webpages? Would it be a good link to have available for all the members, much like the PASB materials, etc.?

Regards,

Carl

Joe, If the Dropbox doesn’t work for some reason, let me know and I will try the WeTransfer.

Carl, There is not currently a link to this material on the website.  The main issue is file size and storage space. These are very large files. I would like to make this stuff available on our site eventually. It is available at the AACA Library. The next step is to get a list of PAS materials at AACA on our website. Right now if someone posts on the Message Board looking for a Parts Manual, if I have it, I will contact them.

Dave,

Carl was able to send me the working links for the manuals.

I want to thank both you and Carl for being so kind and taking the time to help

a rookie Pierce Arrow owner. (ME)

Thanks again,

Joe

The Webmaster is working to get the 1930 Parts Manual posted on the website as it is the last one to have diagrams. Others will follow down the road.

If anyone is looking for a specific year digital Parts Manual, contact me and I will get it to you. The Manuals from 1931 on do not have diagrams.
