Zenith Carb on '44 A

Posted by EZ on September 02, 2003 at 09:20:18 from (216.211.7.116):

I fired up the old A today, it ran for a few minutes then died. After fixing up the fuel problem. (Empty tank) Face was red enough to power the lights!!
Anyway, it died again. This time the plugs were so fouled, they were no good, popped in another set and away we go.
While checking another fuel problem at the carb, I took it in the shop and cleaned it up. Someone had given me an old Zenith carb they had found, and I started to compare it with mine. It was exactly the same, except this one had a main jet, mine does not. I tried putting the jet on mine and it fit! Hmmmmmmmmm, I have had problems with this A since the beginning. Problem: Gas too rich. Well no wonder, with no main jet, I'm getting full fuel into the cylinders. There seems to be a piece missing though from the jet, the needle seems to be missing a gasket or rubber seal. When I install it on the gas will pour out at the needle. Is there some sort of seal for the needle? This could save me alot of plugs.
