Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / November 2005The admittedly mediocre Fish carburetor
Are these things still being made right now? Over the years there were several production runs, often by the militia-goofball contingent. > Are these things still being made right now?

Along with fuel additives, motor oil enhancers, fuel oscillators and snake oil I'm sure you could find someone to sell one. Or at least a good facsimile. > Are these things still being made right now? Over the years there were > several production runs, often by the militia-goofball contingent. This topic comes up about every two months so you might wish to Google it for information. One of the big injector manufacturers probably bought the patent so they did not have to compete with the Fish on mileage and emissions. > > Are these things still being made right now?

Patents were good for 17 yeare and were eligible for one extension, to 34 years total. 34 years ago Fish was already old and generally dismissed tech. The Fish wasn't terribly great at mileage-it never did any better than a properly jetted and set up conventional carburetor. But it was simple and would be a point of contention especially on show'n'shine level old cars. Goobers eat details like that up.
