The only carb book I have is the one by Steve Pargeter, and I think it's a very good book.Comment

A very knowledgeable man by the name of Chris Pelican (in Colorado) wrote that article years ago. He rebuilt and sold all types of Model A Zenith carbs and road-tested every carb he sold. If you bought a carb from him, it needed almost no adjustment. He created special tooling to use in his work. About 2010 he sold his entire business to Bert.

A recently acquired carburetor appears to be a Zenith, but any name has been removed. It also has what seems to be a vent on top of the bowl. Any ideas what this carburetor is ?

I have a ZENITH -2 with a Z under the throttle throat, front side.
Back side has large "E" with small"44"above.

About (20) years ago, I bought an inexpensive "As Is" Model B Zenith carburetor half, (which in the e-bay photo ad), did not indicate the long exposed brass Power Jet Tube protruding from this carburetor half.
After receiving it in the mail, I saw where the hole in the carburetor half for the Power Jet Tube was plugged with a broken drill bit tightly lodged in it with this...05-18-2019, 12:25 AM -
I have a spare Tilliston and a zenith that I’ve torn down and installed new gaskets and jets in. now I’d like to find a good book that can walk me through it to ensure that I’ve done the job right and educate myself on the finer points of their respective operation. Is there a single book worthy or are there individual books that are recommended for each carburetor? Not wanting to waste money...11-15-2021, 06:32 PM -
Can anyone tell me the difference in the Marvel carburetor numbers? I see listings such as Marvel #2, #7, #53 and wonder what the difference is and what the recommendations would be as an alternate to the factory Zenith. Checked youtube and seems nobody has made a tutorial on rebuilding one, but lots of videos on other Marvel models. Thanks, Jim...10-08-2021, 01:21 PM
