Linkert M Model Carburetors
New information to add to this always appreciated.
Note that some models such as the M5,M4, etc, had both early 2 bolt & later 4 bolt air cleaner flanges and some models also had 4 lines of information on the "L&L Manufacturing" side while others of the same model had 3 lines. The "Langsenkamp"line was dropped in early 1940, so if the carb has 4 lines, it is pre-1940, 3 lines 1940 -up. Also note that some models such as the M74 & M74B had both early and late body castings and these castings overlap, and the M74 had  2 types of number stamps, early was centered, late was in the same location as the 74B.There are even a few, such as the M75, that used 3 castings.
I have a complete list of what body castings were used on what carb models and will post one of these days when I am really bored.

DC2         # 20 jet- 1959-1965 Servicar
DC4          # 10 jet - Have only seen 2 since 1965 and I have no idea of fitment !
    Probably an experimental L1960 or E1961 Sportster XL carb. These had #10 fixed jets.

DC7        # 45 jet -  1966 FL,FLH
DC10      # 4 jet - 1957,1958,1959 Sportster XLH, XLCH ( also used on 1969 militray XLB )
DC11                1959-1960 XLR
DC12      # 4 jet - L1963-1965 Sportster XLH,XLCH ( also used on 1969 military XLB )
All except DC2 are the same body. NOS bodies actually were shipped blank and the dealer stamped the number needed on them.
I have owned a number of these NOS bodies over the years. If you have a larger bore body using a 9X throttle disc, this is from
the modification bulletin Harley put out on the DC carbs many years ago. I do have a copy of this and it is posted here.
Differences on all except the DC2 were in jet sizes, needle & seats, bowl lettering, etc, all minor. If you go to our Jet page
you can see which jets fit which models. NO - they did not make a DC3, DC5, DC8, DC9, or DC11 ( "real" DC11 "race" carbs
were modified versions of other DC models as per the race modification bulletin listed above, whether by Harley themselves for
the XLR or by a particular dealer. Linkert did not make DC11 carbs as such, and you will also find these mods on every model
out there except DC2, a few well done and re-stamped as DC11 ( probably by Harley for racers) , some very poor quality backyard
jobs with the idle ports ruined, so look them over carefully. )
