Re: Zenith carb stall
well folks, the verdict is definitely in. After suggestions to lower the float I went straight home after work, took the carb off, put one additional washer under the float valve, put it right back on the car, let it warm up few minutes, and off for a test drive.
I could pretty much tell right away before I took off that it seemed to be idling better.
Sure enough, brake after brake after hard brake, and near perfect idle!! Not even slight or almost stall!! I can hardly believe it.
Thanks to Al 29 Tudor, Synchro 909 and others... a great suggestion that I would not have arrived at on my own!!
And the explanation about the function of the secondary well (as to why to NOT take the brass secondary well out) was really helpful and made a lot of sense to me. Thanks Johnbuckley and 160B!!!
What a great forum!!!
