While perusing e-Bay I saw the Tillotson 'Round Bowl' carburetor and I thought it was a copy of a Zenith. And it got me curious. Are these carbs pot metal like the 'Square Bowl' Tillotsons or are they cast iron like Zeniths. Hard to tell from pictures since someone bead blasted the carburetor (I hate when they do that). Also looks like it may have an accelerator pump?

Not looking to buy, just looking for info to fill some of my remaining KB of memory...
