Zenith rebuild help
Hi Guys hoping for a little help, I am in the middle of an attempt at rebuilding
the zenith's on my 73T 2.4 I am following a post from "A Quiet Boom" and I thank him very much as I would not attempt without the guidance like this from this forum. Anyway doing the drivers side first and I removed the squirters and when I turned it upside down to shake out the check valves the one in the middle is brass and looks like a screw with no thread like it should but the two out side ones were two approx 5 mm s/s ball bearings. So either the bearings fell out of another hole or someone subbed these in place of the original check valves?? Any thoughts or advise? Thanks in advance Mike |

The little "brass screw w/o the slot" that fell out is a check valve and the ball bearings are probably an adequate alternate.

Thanks 1QuikS that's what I figured other than the popping the engine
seems to run ok. Does anyone know if the brass screw like check valves are still available? Thanks Mike |

Also Paul you made note of the "screw with out a slot" and the one that
fell out has know threads but it has a slot on both top and bottom and the direction of the slot is opposite each other. Thanks Mike |

Direction of the slot not important, the piece just drops into the bottom of the well; my mistake regarding the slots.
There is a seller on eBay that sells Zenith parts; he is "alfa1750" and is in Italy. I buy from him as do many others.

I might have another check valve.....I have one spare Zenith for parts. Just mailed the same part to a Pelican member in Portland last month.

thanks Bob but looks like I'm missing two in this carb and I haven't taken the
passenger side carb apart yet as i'm using it as my pattern for when I put the first one hopefully back together. Guess I better at least take the top half off and see how many I will need. Thanks very much for the help guys Mike |
