Senior does such a great job explaining how to rebuild the carb and everything he does such a pleasure to know there still a few people that take the time to do things right I very much enjoy all the content
@ Jan King Yes he does, experience does make huge difference, especially when the parts are just about unobtainable now. Though, knowing that HIS father originally had one of the D2 machines they have worked with, something tells me this isn't his first rodeo with these carbs either!
A set of Wheeler Engineering gun smithing screw drivers works well for this sort of work. I have the 89 piece set. You can match screws perfectly to a bit.
You can tell an old school mechanic from one of these snowflake parts changers,,,love it senior,,,all the little things that make it easier to do what you need to do,,no fuss,,,stay safe and healthy sir,,enjoyed it,,i have a couple of screw holders that i got through the Navy parts depot,,,3 different lengths,,,sure are handy when working on outboard carbs and points on older engines,,,🇺🇸😇😍☕️☕️☕️
DANG IT!!! Been very carefully re-reviewing these D2 pony carb rebuild vid’s, after FINALLY myself gettin’ around to knocking out rebuilding the carb of my friends’ recently acquired ‘57 D2… Squash Sr.’s breakdown is methodical & thoroughly detailed in explanation of ea. carb circuit part(s). That said, I get too this time mark & BAM… “Compensator Jet”! I had carefully removed all plugs & cleaned out every port/passageway & thread, I.D. & O.D. and did notice threads down in a hole at the very bottom of fuel bowl, after cleaning out old crystalized gas gunk & was wondering what in the heck was supposed to be threaded into that hole. Yep, that part is entirely missing from this carb!!! 😩Anyone out there have a spare of just that part or, know if carb kit may actually contain this part????
Holy Cow! How many screws, jets, shafts, and gaskets are there in this carburetor? I counted at least 50 pieces which would make it WAY more complicated than the pony motor itself.
But this is a simple one barrel carb. You should look at a 2 barrel with altitude compression, accelerator pump or power valve, electric choke, anti run on fuel cut solenoid , and a thermal compensator. Or a 3 or 4 barrel . But again you can two. Three or 4 each of 1or 2 barrels on one engine. Fun times. Electronic Fuel injection is so much simpler and easier to set up.
Senior, you’re so good at this, maybe we’ll let the other guy ride the bench for a while. You taught him everything he knows so you can take over in front of the camera and get the recognition you so richly deserve, lol. Just kidding Squatch, we’re not ready to retire you. You both need to keep em coming till we’re as smart as y’all. 🥸👍🚜🔧👀✅
Great to see Senior back doing his precision work, but I have a small question. He is rebuilding a later model carb. Scqautch has been so carful to use all the original parts. Was the first series carb not repairable? Maybe I missed the reason for the substitution.
Great series of vids here, have a question though- can Sr tell us when was the FIRST time he rebuilt one of these carbs?? Obviously he has a practiced hand at this.
Really enjoying the details of the Zenith carb rebuild mini series. Makes me wonder though, for a relatively simple starting engine, why does the carb seems more complex than other carbs? Probably been asked a million times by now but I couldn't help but wonder.
Senior brings classtime that students have paid for.
Que relaxing music...

Senior is a great teacher! Great workmanship!
Man that’s a lot of tiny parts! Screws and so on! You have a lot of patience and steady hands! Great job Sr.! Wow!👌😎👍
He has a very delicate touch. Years of experience really show. I’m so,impressed.
@ Jan King Yes he does, experience does make huge difference, especially when the parts are just about unobtainable now. Though, knowing that HIS father originally had one of the D2 machines they have worked with, something tells me this isn't his first rodeo with these carbs either!
Enjoyed the video! Your locking screwdriver reminds me of the ignition points and condenser days.
Great video. I'm impressed with how steady Seniors hands are. Mine would shake the screws lose.
Outstanding Squatch Sr.!

That's one lucky carburetor.

Thank you! Interesting to see how both of you are so pretty natural at teaching. Great video as always.
The rebuild you are doing is thee most thorough I've ever seen. Your informative presentation was such that any layman could comprehend
thanks for sharing keep up the good work

Natural born teacher.
Another great video, Senior!!!! They sure go together nicely when they are all fresh and clean!

@@thomaslemay8817 I enjoy the smiplicity of electronic fuel injection as well
Don’t know about any of that but I do know this is WAY more complicated than most of the carburetors Mustie1 does.
Screw starters can be a lifesaver.
Well you are making good progress! thank you sir for sharing with us. Both of you.
Thanks for sharing
Very informative video
Excellent video...👍👍

it's amazing how carburetor designs have optimized over the decades

@@squatch253 Yep, I thought, I have, seen the back half of the Super M and the gas tank. We are gettingg spoiled. With the vids every day. lol
Excellent video the screw holder tool makes it a lot easier to get the small screws in

Again, very nice work guys!
The castings are a zinc alloy
Nice 👌 👋 🌎🌞👍👍👍👍
Aluminum or cast zinc? I'm honestly curious, I don't think I've ever worked on an older carb that was actually cast from aluminum.
On your thumbnail it shows a plug with a port visible in top of throttle body. Is that passage for fuel in choke mode?
You broke out the old screw starter
You can only imagine how many young mechanic I've taught
about the screwstarter
Right on brother
✋🏼🇦🇺👍🏼
Was Senior a teacher by trade?
