Intriguing I have come across one ( and only one) British manufactured Zentith carb wihich did not have a shoulder on either the casting or the jet and someone had used a gasket... I have not seen any other Zenith like that ( no matter where they were made) but I am still not sure if this was a backyard bodge or if it came out of the factory like that.
