When I had zeniths I once put in a gasket which suck gasoline and become
thicker during years. Then it pushed float down and carb leaked over.
This was very nasty to find out, because it happened only when engine was
running and the car was in downhill.
With Zenith Strombergs I haven't had any problems.

        I have always had trouble with my Zeniths leaking around the top.
I have used the gaskets from rebuild kits from Sunbeam Specialties, made
my own gaskets from gasket material, coated them with shellac, etc, etc.
If anyone knows of a way to stop them from oozing, please let me know.
