1930 Model A Roadster Deluxe Carb Leaking

[RANCHMAN]

I am due for a carb kit for my Zenith on my Model A it's leaking and I use a few distributor's for parts etc. I was wondering who made the best carb kit or if they are all the same as from Snyder's, Mike's, and others.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

Although I run a Marvel Schebler instead of a Zenith, I find the best carb parts from Renner's Corner http://www.rennerscorner.com/carburetor.html

I guess I haven't heard of that brand lol. Never too late to learn. Are they better? Do I purchase one of those carburetor's? Or just rebuild what I have? Car runs ok just doesn't idle the best and needs to be cleaned up.

I am with Blockhead, I have run Zenith, Tillotson and Marvel, Hands down the Marvel runs the smoothest especially at idle. Not as fussy as the Zenith. I drive my car 3 to 4 thousand miles a year

I guess I better get looking for a Marvel. The Zenith doesn't idle down smooth that's for sure. Do you have a place that's good to work with to get a complete bolt on ready Marvel?

I'm sorry, I wasn’t suggesting you switch to a Marvel, just to check out Renner’s for parts for your Zenith.

I understand you weren't suggesting, however my friend has a couple as well and he has the Marvel and his idles better and seems to run a little better all the time. I've been thinking about switching but just haven't.

Oh, OK. Yes, I do believe the Marvel is a better design.

Any idea where would be a good place to get a complete bolt on ready marvel that doesn't break the bank? I found some on eBay but that's not my first choice!
