Bob,
I stay away from the ZS carbs myself, but try not to put them down. I
do want to make this comment while you are looking for kits. Make sure
you ask it the kit contains the metering needle. Many (on the SU kits
at least) don't. I have found that the SU kits from TRF do have the
needles, so try them.
Regards,
Joe
