I know this is well covered material, but thought I would share. I need to
rebuild the ZS carb on my 77B, but as I'm in grad school and work full time
I thought I just let a pro do it as I haven't done it before and want to
drive my car this summer. I called a local shop and he said, "I won't do
it cause I can't guarantee it. They should have never put that damn thing
on the MG. If you bring it to me, I'll put on a Weber." He was very
helpful and I'm sure being sincere and I'll probably have him do some other
work for me.
The thing is, this is a hobby car for me. I like them and am trying to
learn. It doesn't need to run great, just run. I bought the kit from Moss
and was just going to replace all the parts, clean everything as best I
could, put it back on and readjust it as best I could. I don't want to
dump a bunch of money if the ZS will perform adequately. The carb worked
fine for the last 2 years. The main problem was a tear in the rubber
diaphragm. I thought about just replacing that...is that a bad thing??? I
bought the Haynes manual as suggested by some on the list also and have
been reading through that.
Anyone have any instructions for an amateur on this. I don't want to
become a DPO (never will happen cause I won't sell the car) and do
something obviously bad for the car.
Regards,
Tom
77B
Wishing I didn't sign up for 2 MSEE classes this summer.
