Webers can be very nice, depending on what you want. ZS, however,
was a terrible carb, and on the B, it was used terribly... and if you want
a horror story, check out MG recalls in the 70s. Those "trouble-free" ZS
carbs were setting fire to cars. It wasn't enough that they emasculated
the B, they had to burn it down, too.
Anyway, various Webers definitely have uses for various folks. It
depends on your needs and desires. I do agree, though, that SUs are
probably the best all-rounders for most folks.
