    		I've found absolutely nothing to support the buffalo skull carburetor. Here is a reference to a tomato-can carburetor.

    'The friends put together a two-horsepower engine from scrounged metal scraps, including a tomato-can carburetor, two horsepower was pretty powerful for the time, but not enough to get up steep hills without helping with their feet, so they kept tinkering.'
