Carburetor, Carburettor, Carburetter, Tomato Can?
Would you believe someone if they tell you that the first Harley Davidson produced in 1903 used a tomato can for its carburetor?
You may find this story hard to believe but although undocumented, this tomato can carburetor urban legend has been circulating for years.
It is a fact though that the carburetor was invented by Wilhem Maybach. As an associate of Gottlieb Daimler, Maybach designed and developed the carburetor from which modern models are adapted from today.
