Re: Zentih carburettor - service or replace?

Hi Jim,

I can service the Zenith, if gaskets are not available I can make them.

I may also have a Stromberg with the correct jets for sale if you are interested.

Best wishes,

Neil

My guess would be a square wave at about 5v.

Re: Air Filter?

Hi Malcolm, You say that the oil was black.....after 7 hrs that would suggest overheating of the oil. Does it smell burnt? Do you have oil temp? If so what was it before seizure?

Re: Leburg

Hi Malcolm, The fact that the failure has been progressive would suggest that the fault is not down to a supply/earth problem. Can you remove the Leburg Module easily? If so I recommend you remove it, remove the cover and check that the i/c (integrated circuit) has not come out of its holder, or tha...
