Totally agree a refurbed original Zenith is the way to go. I got an extra 10mph out of an 88 after changing the copy carb over to the as-new original, and a gear higher on the hills. I also replaced the gaskets under the spacer block as well as it looked ancient, to eliminate any air leaks. Are you sure it's a copy carb as the ones I've seen don't have '361V' markings on the side.
Could you not have put two nuts on the thread and lowered it down? I'm curious because I might have to do that to mine but I'm not sure if the thread can be lowered
@@TheRetroSeries2a thank you I can't get mine running, I've refurbished the carb using a genuine kit but petrol is pouring through the carb and flooding the engine
Best vdeio
Excellent video! Cheers Mate!
On the zenith, there's suppost to be a composite spacer block that raises the carb slightly higher!
yea it's there! just hard to see cos it doesn't look black anymore 👍

Nice job! My 2a came with an aftermarket Webber carb; curious how they differ from the oem Zenith...?
Very Very good
