That's the opinion of many, Rick...! But not really a direction I want to go
with this car at the moment. The Z-S carb never
gave me any trouble up until the point where I started having these other
issues. I think it's just piling on..... ;-)
Joe Curto quoted me $250 and 6-8 weeks time to rebuild it - and wouldn't
guarantee that the water choke would work
afterwards. So I think I am going to fix what needs fixing and go from there.

Dan, Ed just reminded me that you have the single Z-S
carb rather than twin SUs. My error. And that, as Ed
says, changes everything. My only experience with Z-S
carbs is a Jag XJ-6 and a late model Midget, leading
me to claim that the best repair for the Z-S carb is
to toss it into the trash can - followed by placing an
order to Pierce Manifold (or similar) for a Weber DGV
conversion. Of course, you could go for an SU
retrofit...
Just one guy's opinion.
