L- and F-head carb. interchangeability?

Do the flathead and F-head 134's use the same carburetor? If not, will they at least mount up and run on either engine?

Thanks.

 

heres the deal from my understanding, they will work, but if you have a f head in a flat fender then you need to have a solex carb so it will fit under the hood, if you have a flat head in there you should be okay with either carb but dont hold me to it.

 

Okay, thanks Geoffrey. I'm putting it on a Go-Devil (flathead) so clearance isn't a problem. Anyone else? I'm trying to verify this before buying one a fellow forum member has for sale.

 

no and no

Well, the vote seems to favor one carb. not fitting the other engine, so I'll look for an L-head carb. Thanks, guys!

 

I'm 90% sure this is a F-head solex on my L-head. It works fine.

DJ3As and Industrial Willys Lheads had the carb mount bolts clocked 90° to a regular Lhead (pictured above). Therefore, you can get away with using an Fhead carb on those engines so the gas pedal linkage lines up correctly. Normal Lhead: bolts are front and back. Indusrial: left and right.

How do I always end up with weird stuff? When do the frankenjeep surprises stop?!

 

Thanks, Garage Gnome. I wouldn't have remembered the stud difference off the top of my head, but I did know that and I'll have to look at my intake to see which I've got.
