Default Model B Carb Power Tube

A friend & I need some power tubes for Model B Zenith carburetors. Replacement stainless steel tubes are shown on Vince Falter's Ford Garage, but there is no purchase info.


Does anyone know the contact info info to buy these tubes?

As an alternative, many model shops stock small diameter brass tubes. You may have to get a slightly larger size and drill out the hole to fit. The size isn't critical because it is simply a "straw" that supplies fuel to the actual power valve.

You can make one from a Zenith 1 or 2 idle jet . The jet needs to be trimmed to length and turn the threaded end off the tube
