RE: Please identify this carb
The carb is off an H.P engine. I think H.P. engines are or were made in Austria.
In 1990, RJL Industries obtained the HP Model Engine product line as well as the HP name and HP logo used in the hobby industry as trademarks in an agreement with Hirtenberger AG, Austria.
HP model engines are no longer associated with Hirtenberger Patronen munitions company, Austria.

RE: Please identify this carb
Wow! I haven't seen a carb like that in over 20 years. I had one just like it on an HP .21 car engine back in early 1980's. If it's the same one, it is far too small for a 56. This is only the second one I have ever seen. I don't know if they made more than one size or not.

RE: Please identify this carb
Mystery solved, thanks. The engine has been tapped for a fuel pump...and I just couldn't resist. I hooked up a Perry pump, and gave it a whirl....it ran great, in fact it was running way rich until I adjusted it. I've got this up for sale on ebay, and have had questions about the carb. Thanks for the help, guys.
