Re: Persistent intake manifold leak
Thanks again for all the expert advice everyone. I am out of town for the week but will carefully re-read this thread when I get back to the car and report on my progress.

Re: Persistent intake manifold leak
It is the former, it stalls as I am coming to a stop and specifically when weight transfers forward (and fuel in the carb float bowl sloshes around). This probably indicates incorrect carburetor...

Re: Persistent intake manifold leak
I did not. I will research how to check for droop in the exhaust manifold and add that to my first point on the action plan. For whatever it is worth, the exhaust manifold is not leaking at all, just...

Re: Persistent intake manifold leak
It was surfaced on the big belt sander. The manifolds are straight across the ports checked with a straight edge but I didn't check for rounded edges.
The vacuum leak seemed to be the same before...

Re: Persistent intake manifold leak
That's my thought as well. At first I suspected the carb, but after swapping to a new carb and trying different float level adjustments I am 90% sure the carb is OK.
I have not put a straight edge...

Re: Persistent intake manifold leak
Thanks for pointing that out, I did my best to look for cracks in the manifold and didn't see anything obvious. However, I didn't take it any further than a visual inspection ie: I did not have the...

Persistent intake manifold leak
Hi Guys,
It seems I have an intake manifold leak that I am having trouble fixing.
The main symptom I am trying to cure is the engine stalling when coming to a stop. I have a brand new Zenith...

Re: Brand New V.S. Rebuilt Carburetor
Will do, thanks for the tip.
I will also start looking around for a correct carb. I had no idea this one is not right for my car. Thanks again all.

Re: Brand New V.S. Rebuilt Carburetor
Hey Guys here are some photos of what I'm working with. Looks to me marked Zenith-1 but I don't know if that is correct for a 1930 Sport Coupe. As an aside, it has been leaking gas out of the weep...

Re: Brand New V.S. Rebuilt Carburetor
Thanks guys maybe I will try another repair before ordering a new/rebuilt carb.
I can weld so I assume I could figure out how to braze it up. The problem is that the crack extends down into the...

Brand New V.S. Rebuilt Carburetor
Hey Guys,
The mounting flange on my Zenith carb top is cracked. A JB weld repair worked for a few months but has since failed again and I think it is time for a new carburetor.
Most vendors...

Re: My 1930 Model A
Looks better with the black wheels in my opinion. Did you have to cut off the old tires? Nice work!

Re: Silly question about pop out ignition switch
That's the deal, it is the Nu-Rex switch. I didn't read between the lines of the description in Snyder's catalog. Maybe I'll start hunting for the correct one now - it sounds like a really neat part....

Re: Silly question about pop out ignition switch
I did buy it from Snyder's actually. I was under the impression that it would pop like an original. That's a bit disappointing.
Is there anywhere to get a reproduction switch that works like the...

Re: Sensible packaging
Makes sense but why can Amazon ship for so cheap then? I get boxes from them shipped 2nd day air for free and the same size and weight from a vendor is 40 bucks. Does Amazon get a special rate?
