Bob, for better deals on Webers check out this address
http://www.webercarburetors.com/index.htm
Their Webers are priced from $289 (my understanding is they are the
clearing house for Weber in the U.S., in other words they sell the carbs to
VB)
Never driven a spit with a ZS so I couldn't tell you, but I can tell you
the carb works great, my only trouble is getting the choke adjusted
correctly (more operator error than equipment error) But it is not that
hard to tune.
Very simple to install (you will need a new intake manifold)
Yes this would most defineately constitute changing your emissions system.
Hope I helped,
Patrick
