Re: Air filter for Model A
Hello carburetor men!
I have read these many posts because I do not know if my Zenith-2 has this balance passage or not. If I see the picture of pargeter correctly, then my carburettor is without balance, because the upper of the three holes goes only out in the air?

Re: Air filter for Model A
Because my carburetor makes irregularities (idle air jet completely screwed in, GAV 1/2 turn left, 7 gal. per 100 mls) I would like to repeat the previous question again.

Re: Air filter for Model A
But you will need to rebuild the engine more often. You'll go a long way without a filter but further with one
Obviously, I use one but fitting it is not so easy on a RHD car, especially if one uses one of those oil filters on the side cover. I use both oil and air filters.

Re: Air filter for Model A
THanks PalAl but as I said in post # 184, they can't be used if you have an oil filter as well. I wouldn't drive like and where I do without both.

See picture of 'Air Balance' Zenith below. Notice the air vent is closed off and the body and venturi are machined to route venting to throat of carb. I think you need a larger vent tube also. |

Re: Air filter for Model A
Blockhead, yes, the only air-vent of the bowl chamber is now the tube to the air filter tube. The brass conecting tube's diameter is about 1/5 inch outside.

Re: Air filter for Model A
Where does the air passage end in air-ballanced carburettor housing? (I mean the long bore-channel from the float chamber to the air intake.)
Thanks in advance! Note without debate: I would never run a combustion engine without an air filter!

Re: Air filter for Model A
Hallo, I would like to ask again about the air-ballanced carburettor.
I suppose I've misunderstood that so far. I thought an air-balance carburetor would have a different underbody with an internal channel from the float chamber bore forward to the air intake (yellow). I think now that's wrong. Is that niw in the following right: 1) I close the hole (red) in the float chamber. 2) I file a 2/10 inch wide open channel between float chamber and venturi. Then this is right for air-ballancing? Thank you in advance.

Re: Air filter for Model A
Werner, look closely at the modified venturi in post #92. The top vent to atmosphere in your picture also needs to be completely blocked off. The vent in my picture is filled with JB weld.
I will add a picture of my carb throat when I get a chance. I is vented just in front of the venturi. (towards the air filter). 3/16" hole in carb throat. Renner's Corner balances carbs if you feel the need to get outside help. http://rennerscorner.com/index.html Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 05-04-2019 at 12:30 PM. |

Re: Air filter for Model A
With the air balanced Zenith and this K&N filter on an Air Maze adaptor.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Not trying to convert members to running a filter, that is your choice. But why does my air filter have to be cleaned all the time? And I run engine pans?? |

Re: Air filter for Model A
Hallo Blockhead,
thank you for your effort. But I do not understand that correctly. On the picture # 92 it looks different. There, an open channel runs from the float chamber direct into the venturi tube (with negative pressure).
