Adjusting Zenith carb

Post by jamsbaugh7 » Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:54 pm

How do you set carburetor with just the low speed adjustment? This pertains to a Zenith on a 6 cylinder Hercules engine

Your high speed adjustment is done through the float level. A good rule of thumb that I have used is to pull the bowl, with the carb upside down and level adjust your float height so that it is slightly higher than a horizontal plane. This is done by gently bending the stop tab. My WB’s run about perfect like that. The low speed adjustment is done with the screw.
