Re: 28 sedan carb help?
another bonus is renner's jets come with a chart showing the actual flow test on the the jets you recieve and the ford spec.

Rebuilding a 1928 Zenith carburetor with my best friend. This car will produce the best memories this summer.

Re: 28 sedan carb help?
Wow!
I have to say the rebuild kit from Renner's with the calibrated jets has made a huge difference. My car runs like a champ and seems much more happy than it did before. I never knew how bad it ran with the old carb set up until now. The car is rather new to me and I thought that's just how Model A's ran...... 60 MPH up the lakeshore with my son after work today. I highly recommend Renner's calibrated jets for anyone looking for a happier banger. Thank you all!

http://mrtexascitrus.weebly.com/modelacarb.html I horded up a lot of Tillys and Zeniths before I retired as a retirement project. I started on the Tillys and never got to the Zeniths. I rebuilt around 40 Tillys. A Tilly is a much simpler carb to overhaul. When we moved 110 miles last August to near Sugarland,TX I sold the approximate 50 Zeniths I had saved up! I still have 25 or 30 Tillys. https://sites.google.com/site/mrtexa...ly-carburetors A Zenith is definitely a good carb if you get flow tested jets. I have posted an explanation as to how a Zenith works on my website: https://sites.google.com/site/mrtexa...ome/modelacarb I never did find a simple enough explanation about how a Zenith works so I made my own. I have all the available booklets on both Zenith and Tilly carbs. No flow testing required for a Tilly. Last edited by mrtexas; 04-11-2014 at 07:04 PM. |

Re: 28 sedan carb help?
So I should take off my air cleaner?

Re: 28 sedan carb help?
Man.....I cannot grasp this carb. After putting in the Renner's calibrated jets the car ran incredibly better for several days....until it got a little colder outside.
Not sure if the cold weather has anything to do with it but spitting and sputtering, popping and snapping.......won't stay running at stop lights. I took off the air cleaner and it seems to breath a littler better but she still has something going on. It doesn't even rev up the same as it did. Are the calibrated jets only for warm weather or am I chasing a rabbit with this cold weather?

Re: 28 sedan carb help?
It sounds like you need to open up the GAV a bit until it warms up. Sputtering and popping when cold usually indicates running lean. I open the GAV about one turn counter clockwise when cold. when it starts to lope, close the GAV to about 1/4 turn off the seat or where ever it runs best. Mine will hesitate and not want to take the gas unless I richen the GAV until it warms a bit. Ignition is probably weak as well. Check the points. When points gap begins to close up it retards the timing and throttle response becoms slow and labored. The locking screw on the points block may not have been tightened properly, the last time the points were adjusted. This has happened to many of us at one time or another. points gap should be anywhere from .018 to .022 , I usually go for the wider gap. Wider points gap gives more time before the gap has to be adjusted again, it also slightly advances the timing for more crisp throttle response. If the engine stalls when the brakes are applied after warm up, the float level is probably a bit low. Running a stand up filter in the cut off valve under the gas tank is usually a must. Fuel flow restriction will also cause backfiring and shut off. Several things can cause the same symptoms

Re: 28 sedan carb help?
Well that will probably rule out ignition. I only added the thought because many times carburetor problems turn out to be ignition or partly ignition. Good luck.

Re: 28 sedan carb help?
Minerva was fartin' out erratically, once. With carb bowl off, NO flow from float valve. Turned off gas, removed float, laid down a white rag, GENTLY removed the float valve. A little BLACK beetle was sittin' on top of it!! Don't know how he got in through the stainless mesh carb filter???---Bill W.

Yesterday I put a few miles on it and this was the problem. I never had to mess with the GAV before, I just always left it almost closed. After opening it up a full turn, my car smiled. This is all a learning process for me and I thank all of you for your help.
