Encarwi (made in Holland, now the Netherlands) was a division of Bing (Germany). On US models, Bing-Encarwi carburetors were used on mopeds by Batavus and Badger, with Laura (Holland) engines, Flandria (Belgium), and pre-1986 Tomos (Yugoslavia).
Batavus: Left, 1970’s Batavus VA had a Laura M48 engine with an Encarwi S-type carburetor. Right, 1980’s Batavus Regency had a Laura M56 engine with an Encarwi H-type carburetor.
Tomos: Before 1973, Tomos had Puch and Laura engines. The 1971 Tomos Automatic N had a Laura M48 engine with an Encarwi S-type carburetor. In 1973 Tomos came out with their own engines the Automatic 1 (one speed), and the Automatic 3 (two speed). The A3 had an Encarwi A-type carburetor. Tomos continued to use Encarwi on their A3 engine, until 1985. After that they used Dellorto.
Flandria: 1977 Flandria Bermuda (US model) had an Encarwi S33 or S33A S-type carb.
A-type has an automatic choke controlled by the throttle cable. S-type has a separate choke controlled by a choke cable.
Top, S-type on Batavus. Bottom, A-type on Tomos (no idle screw).
Encarwi “A” series carbs had an “automatic” choke, controlled by a special twist throttle with thumb button. The choke button lets the throttle twist opposite, below “zero”. This exposes a hole in the slide valve, in front of the fuel nozzle. After starting, twist throttle and choke clicks off automatically. All A-type have 3.5mm jet threads except for 88A85/103.

Top, Encarwi carburetors, engine view, with slides slightly open, showing the idle air channels or slots or holes. Bottom, the corresponding throttle slides, all 14mm diameter, bottom view. The pair of large holes is for the cable.
Substitutions or conversions: Any S-type slide can be drilled and machined to be made for an A83 or H12 carb. The S-type slides (190, 405, 188, 167, 2) all interchange, but have different idle mixture idling behaviors. The Tomos A3 slide 426 fits a Trac M56 with H12 carb, with only minor widening (drilling) of the sprayer hole.
The amazing Encarwi 426 auto-choke throttle
slide (Tomos A3) is explained in four steps:
1. Full power – throttle cable is pulled all the way.
The slide does not have to be there. Main jet controls the mixture.
2. Partial power -throttle cable is pulled part way.
The slide limits the amount of air. The main jet controls the mixture.
3. No power (idle) -throttle cable is pulled slightly.
The slide blocks most of the air. Idle slot size controls the mixture.
4. Cold start – throttle cable is not pulled at all.
The choke jet hole and choke air hole in slide 426 control the mixture.
Substitutions or conversions: The S25 and A83 Ø12 carbs are the same, except for the throttle slide and idle screw.
The Ø14 throttle slides 167 and 426 are nearly the same, except the Auto type 426 has extra choke holes and cut outs.
History
Carwi Carburator, from the 1950’s
Encarwi Carburator, from 1960’s or 70’s
Left, Encarwi A30 carburetor. Right, A30 carb on 60’s Flandria
You can see that these early Encarwi carbs have many things in common with the later ones. The most obvious thing is the angle of the throttle slide with the venturi. Most carburetors have the slide valve 90 degrees to the air flow, but Encarwi carbs are more like 60 degrees. The other thing unique to Encarwi is the “automatic” choke, indicated by the absence of an idle speed adjustment screw, the choke holes and cut-away in the slide, and an extra thumb button on the throttle control that lets the throttle cable go completely slack, below normal idle or “zero”.
