Carb tool set, duro indestro?

[Oldtuleguy]

Picked up this carter carb tool set, not sure of age but kinda looks like duro indestro made.

That’s really neat. Never seen one before.

Nice kit, most of the ones you see in the wild are missing the sockets, and only have the gauges left...

Neat set. I have 2 of the spinner drivers. Only ever seen 2 and found them a week apart. Odd how that works.

Looking for the following Plomb Pebbles Wrenches 3061, 3070,

I have not touched a carburetor from a car engine in over 40 years ! Of course I made my living for 31 of those year designing and developing fuel injection systems.

For small engine carbs, the only special tool you need is a jet screwdriver. Straight blade, moderately thick tip, but no outward flare. The main jet on most small engines sits at the top of the well where the emulsion tube goes.

I have a pile of carbs. Saved them for parts. Still get some old cars in with them.

"...kinda looks like duro indestro made..."

Duro Chrome did offer gland nut sockets and Alamite sockets in their early catalogs. I have never seen any such listings in an Indestro catalog.

What you've got there is a different animal, but if it were either Duro or Indestro, I'd have to say Duro.
I'd be taking a much closer look at the shape of the arc on the driver handles where the knurled portion meets the straight shank, and at that open-end wrench in the background of one of the shots. I think those might be a better indicator of who OE was on those than just the sockets.

Just my lousy opinion, but I'd be more inclined to think that Carter would have outsourced those elsewhere - maybe Bonney or Herbrand (or any number of other outfits who were in the game at the time that set was made.)

I think you maybe right. This wrench looks a bit bonneyish....
