Carb Poll
The Zenith Carb Poll!
I've had the worst day Ever! 115 Degrees, 90% Humidity, and the Mutt dies on me!
Then the best part! Worked for 8 hours on it just to get it running!

Re: Carb Poll
The carb will work great if it is fed clean fresh fuel...I run 2 fuel filters .....( I did let mine set for a lonf time and the gas went bad so I recently cleaned the carb and fuel system , all is great now....I use 1/4 choke to start let it warm about 3 or 4 minutes push choke in and it will then take all the fuel you want to give it without hesitation....
slowest mutt east of the missippi..
Re: Carb Poll
I put my $0.02 vote in...I don't have the hours/miles that most of the G guys have in their Mutts but the carb has treated me good so far and is pretty simple to work on. The difficulty lies in the troubleshooting..

Re: Carb Poll
I used to have my choke 1/4 out and that is the best way to keep my mutt run perfect!!!When i push the choke in then my mutt needs more fuel!!! So 1/4 always out and solve the problem!!I do not know if that effects the fact that maybe "eat" more fuel but I haven't I think sth else to do!!!

Re: Carb Poll
Full choke to start
Push in to 1/4 immediately after start
Run for 3 to 4 minutes
Push in choke
Go like Hell

Re: Carb Poll
Ralph, exact same starting procedure I use. Except for the last part, It doesn't really go like that, you got a supercharger on yours?

Re: Carb Poll
Top, at Ralph's age anything over 30 mph is going like hell! Damn, did I say that out loud? Sorry Ralph, just couldn't let that open door go.
