Stromberg Carb

The original carb on my '28 was replaced with a Stromberg VRO- 1. I would like to replace it with the stock unit, but the price for a rebuilt unit is way above my budjet.

I rebuilt it and it runs good., but I would like to know how to adjust it. I problably should leave it be, but that's no fun.

Is anyone running this carb or have any knowledge of it?

Is it an updraft Carb.



If it looks like this I believe the bottom T screw might be the mixture.  I have a universal carb that looks similar and the instructions say to turn in the mixture screw until it starts to effect the idle then open it a little ? (1/4 or 1/2 turn) If it doesn't feel right at top end open it a bit more ?

PS... Make sure you remember how many turns you move any screw so you can get back to where you were !

Steve, You did not mention if your car was changed to a down draft, or is it the updraft system.  I have a book that lists all carbs (I think all) from 1903 till 1950, all models of cars that used them. I do not find a  Stromberg  with the VRO- 1. All listed start with A, B, or E as the first letter in the type carb it is.  Do you have a part number? My book lists by part number also, if we can determine your carb fits in my book, Then I have tuneup guide for those carbs. My book lists Plymouths as having only Carter, from PJ thru the 1942 model, which I think are all down draft carbs. I know the 28 and 29s are updraft thou.
Take care

So sorry. My carb is a URO-1 not VRO.

I found the answer on the AACA Plymouth site.
