Hi fellow listers,
I have also been struggling with ZS carb, thinking about the Weber carb. My
car is a 78Spitfire, 51,000 miles, runs rich, ldles high, warms up[ slowly,
etc., but this was only after 50,000 with the ZS. I had trouble with the
water choke, had it rebuilt and the carb rebuilt, but it still runs kind of
rough. I too wondered about the Weber for around $400, but I guess it still
uses the same water choke, so perhaps I would not be moving to anything
better. I have also wondered about changing to manual coke. I am definately
not need ing to be a purist, I just want ti to run rignt when my wife and
kids are driving around in it. I drove it back and forth to work every day
last summer, without a bit of trouble. Maybve it just hates the cold! I have
a Triumph expert who is going to look at the car, if only it would warm up
and the snow would melt. I hear that the Weber IS hard to tune, and the ZS
should work fine since it has for 25 years already, just needs the magic
hands of a good tuner. It's 12 degrees here tonight on Cape Cod, with about
10 inches of snow. Will the warm weather ever arrive?
