STROMBERG CARBURETOR REPAIR KIT #RK-235

STROMBERG CARBURETOR REPAIR KIT — RK‑235

RK‑235 is a Stromberg service kit for early Stromberg BX and EX updraft carburetors used on 1930s–1950s industrial engines, tractors, and stationary power units.

This conclusion is supported by:

• The 200‑series kit numbering (Stromberg used 200‑series for small updraft carburetors)

• The fact that RK‑235 does not appear in any WW, EE, 97/81, or UC documentation

• Known gasket/pump layouts for BX/EX kits matching the RK‑235 family
