I have a 77 Midget with a Zenith Stromberb carburetor with an automatic
choke. This midget has been sitting for about 5 years. The car will
run if a squirt a bit of gas into the carburetor throat, but then it dies.
This is no suprise give the amount of gunk in the ZS. I am new to
MG's and I have several questions. I have heard that the ZS is not
a very good carburetor so I am wondering what would be the best choice
for the car, should I replace the ZS or should I rebuild the ZS. As
I see it my options are:
1. Rebuild the ZS.
2. Replace the ZS with a weber (or another type of carburetor).
If I choose to replace the ZS with a weber (or another type of carburetor)
should I go with a automatic or manual choke? Are there any vacuum issue
that I need to be aware of? What is the correct/best weber to use? I am
looking for a close to stock replacement, not a high performance carburetor.
Also who would be a good source of either a rebuild kit, or a new carburetor.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
