Larry Schramm Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Here are some pictures of the carb. The aperture where it fits onto the manifold is 36 mm (about 1 3/16"), and the spacing between the bolts is about 65 mm (2.5"). Appreciate the help.

Dandy Dave Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Looks like it is French to me. Renault? Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Zenith originated as a French company and this one appears to be French manufacture. Early on they opened a branch here in the USA to expand into the much larger market on this side of The Pond. They would send over unusual models of carbs for peculiar applications. This doesn't look that peculiar and I suspect it was originally on an engine of european manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Dimensions and threads may well be metric?? That would be a big clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gillingham Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'd say that's a British Zenith by the way carburetter is spelt on top of the float lid, and it looks like a British made Zenith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Craig,Thanks for the thought. Any guess on the application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gillingham Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 No sorry. I'd say it dates from the 20's, as it's not listed in the 1930's and later catalogues. The early Austin 7's have basically the same carburetter, but they use a 22mm (a 22 FZ). A 36mm would be from a larger car or possibly a truck. I can't imagine what it would have originally been fitted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
