You really don't know what you are working with in a rebuilt Zenith Carb unless you have flow tested the jets. Refer to Steve Pargeter's book for the necessary tools and procedures. If the carb is clean, with flow tested jets and adjusted, it can't help but work properly. I also agree that the level should be adjusted down 3/4 to 7/8 inches from the machined surface of the lower casting. With a level set at 5/8 in., the gas level in the Main and Cap Jets will be right at the top and if the carb doesn't leak it will smell. Ed
