Default Re: Tillotson carb

Micky -

I agree with Patrick. Tillotson runs very well. I cannot argue that the Tillotson is better than Zenith because I have never had a reason to change or a Zenith to compare.

Our 1930 Coupe came to the family in 1957. It was equipped with a Tillotson and a spare Tillotson in a box of assorted parts. I completely rebuilt the engine in 1965.

Over the years, I have rebuilt each the two Tillotsons a couple of times.

The only times that I experienced leaks were when I did not get even pressure on the top screws and once when I had a bad float valve.
