100 Years of the Schebler Carb // Paul Brodie's Shop 

So happy to see you back wishing you all the best

So happy to see you, Paul! I hope everything is going well and you fully recover. You are a gift to the world with the sharing of your knowledge, thank you to you and Mitch!

Rooting for you, Paul! And thanks for all you do, Mitch! Looking forward to hearing the Excelsior next time!!!

Well come back guys, you were missed.

Beautiful work, not forgetting to salute the original makers of these carbs, great tribute Paul

This brings back some memories from my late father. He was a mechanical engineer and a lost wax moulding expert and in his free time, he used to tinker and such and I remember seeing him rebuild his Renault 20TX carburettor (far less interesting than a Schebler, I'm aware) by doing the exact same process... He was a shitty father but a brilliant engineer...

It's good to see you :), hope you are getting better.

Great to see you again!!

Good to see you again, Paul!

Paul, your carbs are AMAZING, you are rightfully proud of them! Your videos never cease to impress but as great as they are your stalwart attitude towards your illness is even more impressive. Sending you all good thoughts, Gary

Woo hoo! Great having you back :)

It's great to see you again and I can't wait for next time. Well done Sir!

Hi Paul! I'm very happy to see you making videos again. When I went thru my thing I didn't have the energy to walk down the hall let alone make a RU-vid program. I am such a huge fan of you and Mitch. I wish I could help in other ways. My non denominal prayers go out to you!

Woohoo Paul is back! I certainly have missed your most excellent content.

I was not expecting to see reed valve induction in the air box! Incredible work with such attention to detail. Thanks Paul & Mitch for taking the time to make and post this video.

You never cease to amaze with your ability to accomplish what most would not even contemplate, thanks for sharing your journey

A perfect end to my weekend! Thank you Paul, stay strong & keep smiling. When you are going through hell, keep going! (W.Churchill).

My heart is so happy to see you!

So glad to see you back, Paul! Ferric chloride is actually used to burn the copper off of "printed" circuit boards. The "printing" is a photo-resist and once exposed and rinsed the board goes in a vat or tray of ferric chloride to eat away everything but the circuit traces. Flux remover comes in a spray can (like carb or brake cleaner) and is usually isopropyl alcohol and ethyl acetate.

Another stellar vid Paul and Mich. A new shirt with "I can't remember" might go well. I strongly feel you would have an impeccable filing system with all your machining details to hand! I also understand you need to hold some hard-won information to yourself :-). Again, thanks for sharing and may your recovery be speedy and to 100% health.

Hi good to see you again Paul, must be time for a coffee ☕

Man it feels so good to see you making videos & talking about the stuff you enjoy. You really do brighten up the day! Keep fighting Paul! We love ya!

I was shocked to hear the reason behind why I hadn’t seen any new videos from you guys in a while. VERY pleased to see you back in fighting form Paul! And Mitch, cudos for you amazing work being the scenes! Keep up the great work guys. Excited to learn more about your journey with those beautiful Excelsiors.

And once again we have a great video... Thanks Paul and Mitch. All the best! :)

welcome home Glad to see you're doing well. Thank you for all your wonderful videos!

Nice to see you back Paul, wish you all the best. ❤️🇬🇧

Thanks Paul for the stories and vintage carb lesson 👍👍😎👍👍. And thanks Mitch for memorializing Paul’s awesomeness 😀

Made my day seeing you and Mitch on here again, Paul. Truly.

Fascinating how carbs developed over the years. Amazing how good your hand made replacement is. Thanks Paul.

casually dropping the "oh I made this carb in my shop". Super impressive Paul, and awesome casting work as well from Ohio

So interesting about these old carbs and all the customizing you’ve done. Must have been hours of research and effort, I can see why you don’t want to sell them. Glad to get these video notifications and I send them onto friends, your content is great! Thank you Paul for sharing your stories and knowledge and thank you Mitch for your great video work! Hope your feeling good Paul and your chemo is over soon. It’s good to see you smiling 😊

Thank you Paul and Mitch. So nice to have you back.

I´m so glad to hear you Paul! Greetings from Argentina, still dealing with Italian bikes! Big hugs from here, mate!

Thank you Paul and Mitch. The ferric chloride is used to etch the bare copper from a wannabe circuit board. The copper that should stay on is covered with a photo resist layer, or old-school, marker ink or vinyl pads/traces. All the best, Job

Great video Paul hope your health continues to improve & thanks Mitch for your efforts. looking forward to hearing the Excelsior run.

Your work is a credit to you Paul. Hang in there.

So happy to see you Paul!! 😉👍

Good luck with your treatment programme, it's great to see you again and take it easy Paul. :)

Another beautiful burn spot in your front yard. Let's hope the camera shows your smile when it starts. Thanks.

Continued prayers for Healing and Recovery Paul 🙏 ❤️

Good to see you Paul. Wishing you the best...Excellent video. You're a pillar of knowledge and thank you for sharing it with us.

Beautiful work, Mr. Brodie. And even with all you're going through, the presentation is outstanding. To make and replicate that carb is the crown jewel to your bike. The Schebler company was massive and leader to many OEM makers, from motorbikes, marine, tractors, auto's and even airplanes. The Wheeler-Schebler for motorbikes wasn't budget priced in the 1920's though and considered premium. As for the Marvel-Schebler era they had the agriculture market covered. Remarkable today to see 'brand new' reproduction's for tractors available from India, Asian countries retail at only $120.00. Looking forward to your next vid and thanks for sharing!

Glad to see you back at it guys ❤

Thank you Paul for the great Schebler show and tell. That is a very pretty repro. The original multi-function linkage is a real engineering feat and neat to see. I can also greatly appreciate your air filter intake system with it's own multiple tuning variables. Really looking forward to the High Pipes Harry start video. May you be well, wishing you success with the chemo. Thanks also to Mitch for making the show and tell video possible.

Paul, I once owned a 1952 Minneapolis Moline Model Z tractor with a Marvel Schebler updraft carb. Dropped it on my foot once and broke my toe! Yours are beautiful, and I hope, lighter.

I have never seen a carb like that. Our predecessors were brilliant and practical. I am always amazed by the complex simplicity of these old parts. Great to see you Paul.

Had one on my old Indian Scout back in the day.

Great to see you Paul! And to not see you Mitch! Be well and get better. Love this channel.

Thank you both! Thank you for the inspiration Paul. The world is a better place with you making vids and sharing knowledge.

Thanks for the video. You look great.keep it up. I had seven months of chemo. 11 years cancer free. It works

Well done Paul, your strength and abilities shine through in all that you do. Magnificent effort to get up and keep going when like so many people these days finding in themselves what it takes is more than they have. So thrilled to see you making videos again, thank you for the effort you and Mitch put in for our enjoyment. Greetings from Perth, Western Australia.

Great video Paul, hope all is going well with your ongoing treatment and recovery!

I'm delighted to see something about the Schebler carburetor! My great grandfather Phillip Schmoll worked for George Schebler, he helped develop a variable displacement V-12 engine in about 1908.

ASMR for motor heads. Glad you're back.

Hello Paul here in Brazil we love your videos!! sensational!! you are a Doctor of motorcycles!! congratulations 👏👏👏👏

Fascinating as always! Thanks for posting.

Glad to see you back and smiling. I hope you get back to your old self as quickly and painlessly as possible. Sometimes things feel like they’re sent by fate to test us, a man whom has achieved as much as you in the most fearlessly relentless ways you have should have this illness wrapped up in no time. This is just another challenge for you to over come. Stay strong and fight the good fight sir.

Interesting, very familiar with marvel schebler aircraft carbs, your examples makes them look modern! Don't often comment but I enjoy your content and am glad to see you filming again.

Brilliant video as always really interesting that the principles from a 100 years ago was still relevant to the AMAL in the ‘70s

Soooooooo good to see You guys !!!!!!!! Feel already better myself !!!! Keep strong Paul ❤.

Thank you for the educational videos. I too am on Chemo and I ran across your channel. Im waiting for spring so I can get out there and get back to work on my bike. In the mean time watching your videos helps me pass the time . Thanks again.

So glad to see Paul. 🎉

Great to see you back , ive been binge watching all the old videos . The effort you have put in to your last few videos while on your path of recovery is very much appreciated! My father went through something similar last year and I understand how some days even the smallest of things can take all your energy. Even with the change of pace from fab time to story time , your uploads have been great to watch. Thanks for all the time you and mitch put in to them.

That replica carb is just beautiful .

It's great your back and I appreciate the work you 2 do. My mom went thru the same thing and recovered well. I wish you the best. Thanks James

Hi Paul, glad to see you back, l hope your recovery is going well, looking forward to your next video........mw

Another amazing video! Learned a bunch and excited to see you again. Best wishes!!

That carb design is quite clever (especially for 100 year old tech) and what you did to work an air filter to one and still have the same functionality and tuning is awesome.

Looking forward to hearing the excelsior run mate hope your health is going well mate. Take care mate

Fantastic to see you again, mate. As usual brilliant, informative video.

Glad you are back at the shop Paul! Must feel nice I'm sure!

Very informative, nice to see inside the carb , inspiring stuff 👍

Hello Paul, that carburettor is a thing of beauty. I especially like the adjustable air version, pretty simple to operate, but spot on. Thank you for the video, wishing you the very best. Regards Kevin.

Good to see you back, and I wish you all the best with your treatment. I must say those Schebler carbs look more like a musical instrument than a carb. What I like about carbs is that they give me the impression that they were designed and built purely through empirical processes, and they really are a black art to get to work well. I am more familiar with cars and fixed jet carbs with accelerator pumps. The issue with all carbs is when the throttle is suddenly opened. Air is much less dense than fuel so the engine can get a gulp of air and no fuel and then will spit back or stall all together. Accelerator pumps in fixed jet carbs give the necessary fuel to stop the leaning out and spiting back but I guess the leather spring loaded valve on the Schebler was a clever way of controlling air going into the engine. All in all, very interesting.

Hey Paul, about 10 years ago I gave my Sprywheel tractor engine to a buddy that wanted to build a Steffey Motorcycle copy. It only had a simple Lunkenheimer mixer. Pretty crude compared to a Schebler but it did work.

Ferric Chloride is used to etch circuit boards. You put etch resist - I “borrowed” some of my mother’s “nail polish” in the mid-seventies to do my first ones - on the circuit board to cover the traces, then you put the board *in* the ferric chloride for a while, then remove it and check to make sure the traces are clear of all whiskers, then clean off the resist and drill the holes (for through-hole parts. No surface mount back then for hobbyists).

Good to see you Paul

Yes beautiful work 👍

Paul it is nice seeing you and you look good. Love the excelsior bike and all the info you are sharing.

So glad to see you back as inspirational as ever😊

So good to see you up and about Paul. Wishing all the good luck with the Chemo.

Brilliant Paul! Love the attention to detail, look forward to more! Cheers, Doug

So happy to see you and Mitch back at it making videos. Wishing you all the best with your battle. I really love your Aermacchi content.

Wonderful!

Electronics hobbyist here... Flux is cleaned off circuit boards with alcohol.. Feric chloride is used to *make* circuit boards, it etches away exposed copper, there is a mask that protects areas of the board where you want the copper to remain.

Welcome back, you’ve been missed!

Been looking forward to your post .. great work as expected

i'm SOOO happy to see you again Paul! And the fact that you turned into Obi-Wan Kenobi during your absence is just awesome! :D Who else could be the OG of all the OG's? ... :P

Amazing insight into your creation. Thanks for putting this together. Really looking forward to more!

Good to see you back Paul. Your knowledge is amazing.

Great to see you guys back at it.

Hello , I’m glad you’re doing well. I always learn a lot from your videos. Those old manuals like the carburetor one you have are so good about braking things down and making it easy to understand. Way back in the 1970s the place I worked after school had a cabinet filled with parts & repair manuals starting from the 1930s covering every type of farm & industrial machinery, I learned all about the theory of how carburetors, ignition, combustion cycles operate as well as how to use precision measuring instruments. The books that were new at that time seemed to be trying to impress with technical language instead of starting with the fundamentals.

Awesome work Mate! Glad you getting back into it!!

Great presentation on the carb. Like your idea on the air filter.

Damn good to see u up and kickin'.

Good work gentlemen, thank you Paul and Mitch

Just amazing… as usual, Paul and Mitch. The video, the work and the detail. Incredible. As an engineer, motorcycle and bicycle guy, this just hits all the marks.

Thanks for the new video Paul! Good vibes going your way! 🤙✌️

What a RELIEF 2 see u back !!

Cant wait for your next video!! Looking forward to see you Paul! ❤
