Default Wisconsin AK questions

We seem to have a run of Wisconsin questions lately!

What carburetor should be on an AK? Mine has a Marvel Schebler VH12.

If that's the correct carb, does anyone have a picture of the air cleaner? Mine is missing the air cleaner.

Here is a picture of my carb and air cleaner.

Is this what you wanted?

Leonard,

According to my Wisconsin manual the Marvel-Schebler VH-12 carb would have been one of the carbs used on the model AK. Appears they also used Stromberg or Zenith carbs.

Here's a scan from my parts book showing the air filter.

Hello Jimmy

Nice looking Wisconsin. Is there a story behind the color?

Not much of a story. I bought the engine at Portland a couple years ago and I just thought black would look best. I liked the idea of the contrast of the tag and the black shroud.

Here are the pictures before I did anything with it:
