I recently purchased a 75 Spitfire as a project for my son and I. It had been sitting a year and was running rough. I'm sure it will provide many evenings of bonding time between us, as we nurse it back to health and eventually a restoration project. We live in the Kansas City area. As a youngster I owned MGB's, so I understand the amount of time we will spend on our Spitfire. I'm also hoping to instill in my son the sense of joy and accomplishment that comes with keeping it running.
We are currently working through some rich running Zenith Stromberg (single 150 CD) carb problems. The archives have helped us immensely with tips and links, and we rebuilt it the other day with a kit and several new parts. However, it's still running rich but I'm confident we will discover the answer soon. My question to the group; does a list exist that matches ZS carberator numbers with what year it was made, or possibly what engine it was made for? I have the original brass tag with numbers on the carb and there is a number stamped onto the carb body. I've spent a few days lurking and I've been very impressed with the thoughtfullness of the group.
Thanks,
John
