Wheels,
Not real sure of your question but in the last picture you have the air correction jets installed but the emulsion tubes laying on the bench. The e tubes are installed before the air correction jets. Don't forget those "tee" shaped "plugs" under the injector nozzles too.

Got off my phone and went to the desktop for better pics. You have the "plugs" installed in the air correction/emulsion tube orifices. Those go under the injector nozzles with the slotted end upwards.

Try to Google "Zenith 40" and find a breakdown of the carb. This will help you a great deal. PM me if you have more questions

So the t shaped nozzle's that I have next to the E tubes go under the injector ? Just so I get the lingo corret

E tubes are the long skinny thing with hole's
Air correction jets are are the treaded things that say solex on them
the shaped plug is what looks like a screw with no threads ?

By George I think you've got it!
Good work. Now you are ready for the real challenge once you get to tuning them.

Keep us posted on your journey.

I have a pair of Zeniths that are crying out for a strip and clean. Had heard that the accelerator pump diaphrams were NLA. Does the kit you have include the pump diaphrams:confused: Reluctant to strip them down just to find that the diaphrams fall apart but that they are unobtainium.....

The Zenith rebuild kit (made in italy, for sale here) has the accelerator pump diaphragms in there. Kinda pricy but that's the only place I have seen them.

Wheelsonly 12-18-2010 01:13 PM

I belive the pelican Parts kit has them...

I thought that's what I said, nice carbs, Wheelsonly

Wheelsonly 12-18-2010 04:34 PM

just out of curiosity what would these be worth...

James Brown 12-18-2010 04:42 PM

Stock, both for around $300-500

Wheels, nice job! Care to share your secret? what did you end up using to get them so clean? Obviously you made a satisfying project out of this. THe results speak for themselves.

Wheelsonly 12-19-2010 12:07 PM

I just use Water and pine sol with maybe 2 can cans of carb cleaner small wire brushes and some of those 3m abrasive pads to polish the brass parts..

Here is the fan I just finished I wish i would have wiped it down for the last pics..

what would an engine like this be worth ? it is a 4r-5r case with no serial numbers on it ? original internals and good leak down numbers ?

Wheelsonly 12-30-2010 12:20 PM

So I have been cleaning up other parts of the engine and was going to finish the other carb today when I noticed the other carb has a broken shaft is this something I should fix or just buy another carb ?

I used a weber unit, could not find a zenith one. You must drill it out to make it fit.
