Zenith Carb
 

I have several zenith carbs that I will never need. What are they worth

From 0 to 2 or 3 hundred dollars depending on what shape there in.

For reference - Bert's rebuilt Zenith Carbs that use flow tested jets and tested on an A, run about I believe $350 without a core. So as Fred says, depends on what condition, if they have been tested on a car, and what someone will pay for them.

I will likely buy them for $50 each. But would love to see photos first.

Zenith three carburetors are few and far between .

Zenith 3 carbs used less cast iron than 1 or 2.

Model B carburetors are thin and the upper flange is easily broken . I also have a couple of brazed upper model B carb housings .

They are not rebuilt !

Re: Zenith Carb
 

I think I will keep all fifty of them, I thought that rebuilt sells for $ 350.00 with your core that these would be worth some money,my mistake

Pictures are posted of the Zenith # 3 Carbs..

I think that Rex Reheis discovered several Zenith 3 carburetors sometime in the 90s . There was a write up in one of the national model A magazines about the carburetors and their discovery . A lot of model A guys , myself included had never seen or heard of a Zenith 3 at the time .I would consider them to be collectors items .

I have seen one complete Upper/Lower and ONE and a half lower castings.

I say 1/2 because one lower casting was a Zenith 2 which someone used a Dremel in a feeble attempt to make the 2 into a 3 ... was sold on Ebay as I remember.
