I'm putting the final touches on bringing my '73 SWB back to life. Sorted all the ignition issues, looks like. now it's on to fuel. Couple of gallons in the new tank; pump's working fine. But it appears I have a hurdle at the carb. My suspicions are increased by how it got rebuilt (It came uninstalled, and the car had been sitting for 8 years or more, so I figured it might need a freshening up) Bought the kit (there seems to be more than one level of kit - so for reference it was from Trevor at RF (Sorry, RN)). But the overall rebuild, including lapping the halves, took several weeks done sporadically between other projects. So I can't say for sure that I didn't do something incorrectly on the rebuild or miss (or lose!) a part.
When it was installed, and getting fuel (bowl was full), fuel was dripping out of the main circuit outlet (16 on the service bulletin diagram), but it dripped pretty unregulatedly, it appeared. And under no circumstances did I ever get any fuel jet spraying anywhere when the throttle link was moved. And that was the only thing that happened. some dripping from that horn. Now I have it back out of the vehicle, ready to diagnose or rebuild.
This is my first Zenith experience (previous Rovers had Webers) so I'm not even sure what I should be looking for to start this level of troubleshooting. I've read the service bulletin thoroughly, but I'd like some real-world examples of what to look for. I might just order another kit (unfortunately) because I'm worried I might have missed a part, or done something else wrong. But if I can narrow down what the problem might be, I might be able to avoid that or buy fewer parts. I suppose I could take remove all the jets and parts (it's broken open already) and try re-rebuilding it.
Thanks for any help.
