K carburetor float level

Post by 57 chris » Thu May 22, 2008 8:08 pm

OK, I just got the rebuild kit for my Zenith carb on my "K" motor.

The only glitch I can see is that the float levels are listed by carb model number such as 63AW10,11,12 etc. Obviously this is a "63" series carb but I have no way of knowing which model I have and nowhere do I see numbers resembling the number on the tag (12091).
Anybody know the correct float height?

Is it 1 19/32” for all Zenith carbs on K motors? Or is that just for Chris’ 63M2E11? My carbs have the tag B175 12. Looking at carb rebuild kit… I can’t determine which one I have! :lol:

B175 12 is the flame arrestor part number. See http://www.finewoodboats.com/Zenith%20Float%20Chart.jpg for a chart.

Thx Jim.

Acknowledging my ignorance here… still learning this motor. 😁
