Hi everybody, changed the float Valve and set the float level a little bit down. Now everything is fine. Have done a road trip 10 Miles / 16 km this afternoon. Thanks for the help

The thread is okay and not destroyed. Around the casting and the GAV Assembly is everything okay. The fuel is coming from the float bowl through the small hole in the bottom of the bowl to the GAV Needle and then up in the tube. If i screw in the Needle complete there is no leaking. But then the...

Hello, hope you have an idea. My Zenith Carb is leaking at the Choke-GAV entry (see picture). The float level is set to 5/8 Inch from the bottom. All gaskets are new. But when the carb is in the car or on my test-jig there is fuel in this "tube". After a while it is leaking down to the earth...

The car runs fine, tried it for a ride about 25 km - last week. This weekend heavy rain here near the dutch border. @Henk / Hazelhoff: Did you send the rain?:) Michael

SOLVED: Re: Engine not starting - checked everything - no more idea Hi guys, first i want to say thank you for all your time and your input. @Boston Bruce: The picture is great. So now the good news. About 1 hour ago the engine started. Today i made all that what you said and found that the...

and the pictures of the carb checking yesterday:

Here are two pictures: one from the "wrong" Model B timing cover and one when piston #1 is in TDC the rotor is at the correct position i think Tested the sparkplugs with the cable on the distributor - all have spark when cranking the engine

Here some pictures from January to march:

Good Morning from germany (8.24 AM) Thanks a lot for all informations. Will try it today. Here my answers for the questions: 1. I bought the car 1 Year ago and now i made the engine (new pistons, rods etc.). In this work i changed the timing gear with new ones. I ordered Model A timimg gears...

Compression is correct. Timingcover is from a Model b and this is the reason that the dimple doesent work. Ordered a measurement and measured the tdc on 0.1 mm with this clock. Adjusted the timing, checked the Compression, all valves new, all pistons new, all cylinders machined, all rod new...

Okay, but mechanical must the fuel go into the combusion chamber and there is no fuel. The electrical problem may come then when fuel is in the cylinders. Michael Velling Germany www.velling.de

Thanks But why is no fuel in the valve an piston area? These area is complete dry and as new as we rebuild it 3 weeks ago? Michael Velling Germany www.velling.de

Rotor is turning, gap is okay The problem is, i think, that the fuel is not going in the cylinders. The plugs are complete dry. Checked all the way with endoskop.. Free Spark is there. Michael Velling Germany www.velling.de

Added starting fluid in the throttle area, but no result. Michael Velling Germany www.velling.de

The carb is complete rebuild today. Fuel is in the carb, adjusted float correct. The timing is correct... Chrckrd 3 times The ignition is complete okay... Checked all wires as described. Spark at the plugs and at the central wire from the coil. The engine does not suck the fuel. Suck is...
