That's the opinion of many, Rick...! But not really a direction I want to go 
with this car at the moment. The Z-S carb never
gave me any trouble up until the point where I started having these other 
issues. I think it's just piling on..... ;-)

Joe Curto quoted me $250 and 6-8 weeks time to rebuild it - and wouldn't 
guarantee that the water choke would work
afterwards. So I think I am going to fix what needs fixing and go from there.

Dan, Ed just reminded me that you have the single Z-S
carb rather than twin SUs.  My error.  And that, as Ed
says, changes everything.  My only experience with Z-S
carbs is a Jag XJ-6 and a late model Midget, leading
me to claim that the best repair for the Z-S carb is
to toss it into the trash can - followed by placing an
order to Pierce Manifold (or similar) for a Weber DGV
conversion.  Of course, you could go for an SU
retrofit...

Just one guy's opinion.
