  1. Thanks for all the above information, Think I need to start again as I assumed the Zenith T4X was original. The photo below is of a picture showing the carburetor in my Chrysler 4 Instruction Book second edition 1925, Unfortunately, there is no name on the carburetor in the photo and the manual does not state the name or model. Could you please confirm this is a Stewart Model 30. My choice now appears to be to either buy a Stewart Model 30 if one is available, or a Carter Model BB1-245SA. Does anyone have one of the above for sale? I do have an an old Carter Model BB1D could this be used? and is there any material difference between this and the one above? Sorry so many queries David
  2. The bowl faces outwards and would appear to be in the correct position. The air intake faces rearwards presumably to give it some protection and the choke and throttle cables and fittings all appear to be in the right place and working properly, if a little worn. I have a Carter BB1 but this will take some work to make it fit, and the mounting flange is a lot wider and may need to be fitted in an offset position if space allows. Thanks for advice on other carburetors which i will look into. The engine No is F76204
  3. Thanks for your advice, I should have mentioned that the car is a right hand drive empire model originally exported to New Zealand and then imported 30 years ago to the UK. The engine will start easily enough and run with the choke out as a temporary measure. Are there any specialist carburetor suppliers in the US worth approaching? otherwise, I favour rebuilding it, if possible, for long term reliability. David
  4. There is a long vertical crack in the outer body of the carb, which appears to be due to expansion or corrosion in the venturi tube running through the body. The engine runs roughly due to a weak mixture. Does anyone have a spare useable carburetor or know where this can be repaired/rebuilt or if there is a suitable alternative replacement. I am in the UK. Any help greatly appreciated. David
