carburator problem
I have a zenith carburator 13922 on a 29 model A Ford town sedan that is running too rich and the engine is heating up. How do I adjust the mixture? It doesn't adjust with the choke rod like the originals. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Donald Thompson |

Re: carburator problem
Might have to rebuild your carb?

Re: carburator problem
Too rich isn't usually associated with overheating.
The richness adjustment is that little T-valve sticking out the bottom front. Try turning it all the way in, then backing it out 1/2 a turn; that works pretty well on my '29 town sedan. You may need to give it a bit more choke on cold starts, since you've lost that warmup enrichment. About the overheating, what else did you change besides the carb?
