Carburettor rebuild

Post by ChrisE »

I have a spare carb for my 1929 Long Four. A friend with a 1927 Short two can’t get it to tickover, mainly because his carb is totally worn out. I took my spare apart (I bought it on EBay 4 years ago) and can see that a tube on the idler has been damages, presumably screwed down forcibly at some time.

Any idea where I can get one? I’ve looked on the website https://zenithcarb.co.uk/shop and can’t see it. It looks like Austin 7s have a similar, but vertical carb (Jowetts are horizontal) maybe grey Ferguson tractors.

Any ideas where I can get one? As usual loads of photos!

I managed to solder the tube together to hide the split. We’ll see if that works! It would be nice to get a replacement though if anyone knows where to get one.
