Hi Guys,
I have come across a set of Z/S 250 carbs that still have the lead factory 
seal affixed to the top cover and body. That would mean that they are 
"untouched" and of factory build. They were very dirty as usual on the outside, 
but from 
what I can see inside they are pristine.  The pistons go up nicely and come 
back down with a click.  I have simply cleaned them up with carb cleaner on the 
outside and I think I am going to just slap them "as is" on my 250 to see how 
they perform.  Well, maybe I should put some oil in the dashpots.  
They are the very early carbs with the 5/8" nut on the bottom plug. You don't 
see many of this type although my car has a set fitted at present. The front 
one is stamped "232 S3173F 507.  The rear is "233 S3173R 507.  Anyone know 
what the numbers mean?  I feel kinda like an Archeologist with something 
special 
here, 37 years old and waiting to be reborn. I will post a note when I fit 
them and fire them up.  I hope the fire is not literal!
Cheers,
Darrell
