The second new carburetor from Synders didn't leak gas, but it wouldn't let the car run over 30 mi. per. hr. also it wouldn't run or idle down unless the GAV was open 1 to 1 1/4. I removed the air filter and that didn't help so I gave up and put the old stock ZENITH back on w/ no filter the motor ran ok. (if its not broke don't fix until it is broke)
I returned both carburetors to Synders and canceled my order. Snyders quality has been very good, I think they just got a bad batch from there supplier.

From what I have heard, most of the new carburetor parts from vendors have issues (especially leaks). And the new carbs are the worst for quality. Have to be made overseas. When it comes down to it, most OEM parts are better and longer lasting than the junk that is being sold today.
