I soaked the Zenith Carb, made in Australia for 3 days on CLR... it didn't dissolve away....
Poked a wire down all holes and blew them out.
The float had tobe resoldered, what a job for newbies........
Anyway bingo. it runs.....

I'm happy speedy

Hi Speedy,

Well done ,it's always good when a pile of junk turns into a lawn mower.

Lately I've been thinking instead of converting my older mowers to electronic ignition it may be easier to convert to CDI.



Cheers

I put a snorkel on the carb ,just to keep the dust out of the carb.
It starts easily with the drill. Mowed the whole lawn, and the Zenith carb performed well. I may need a air filter to restrict the air flow....
And gotta fix a fuel tank, instead of gaffa tape.....
Anyway happy to step back 60 years........

I heated and bent some steel, to make brackets for fuel tank, good snorkel.
