[TR] ZS Carb Questions

[Bud Rolofson]

I think it would as Buna-N is petro resistant also, but I'm no  
chemist.  But I haven't used those type of o-rings.  I know viton has  
worked well on the plugs and also for the carb dampers for many years  
in my TR6.

An alternative is to find some old ZS carbs that have a "solid"  fuel  
chamber bottom that has no plug holes or jet holes.  I think I got  
some off of a couple of  old MG ZS carbs but I had to look through a  
big pile of carbs at Atlanta Imported Car Parts to find just two of  
them.  One of these days I'll install them when I'm doing my biannual  
cleaning of the fuel chambers.   MG parts on my TR6...god forbid.
