The advance arm makes contact with both sides of the distributor. That was the first thing I adjusted before start up.

I will re inspect the cap jet for cracks but I would think it would leak right away as soon as I reinstalled it and turned the fuel on.

Is it possible that all the Zeniths are just worn out from so much use? If so has anyone tried a brand new Zenith or Tillitson from the supply houses?

Getting this thing right is like trying to make the wife happy during childbirth!!!

I have a friend that bought a new Tillotson, but it doesnt have provision for the GAV. He says it runs good, but I wouldnt want it. I dont know anybody that bought a new Zenith.
I think if I was determined to start over with another carburetor, I'd try to find a "B" model Zenith. I like the one I have.
But you should be able to fix the one you have. There's a lot of them out there working fine.Good Luck.
