I bet that'd be the more popular choice, but it misses
Dave's question. Now I've very little experience, really,
with Zenith Strombergs and none at all with SU's. But from
what I've read on this list and elsewhere, I suspect the ZS
would be easier to maintain. For one thing, renewing their
throttle shaft bushings is a hell of a lot easier than
rebushing SU's. For another, piston wear ain't an issue
because of the rubber diaphragm. (That diaphragm can split
but it's an easy fix.) About the only thing I can think of
in favor of the SU is that it's easier to tweak the
mixture. (And there's a much larger selection of needles
available.)
