One the carb gurus.

I bought a parts lot quite a few months ago and am just going through a box that contained what I thought were 8 ZS Carbs for the TR6. Well, 4 of the 8 are for a 6....the other 4, I am not quite sure about. They are ZS 175 carbs as well but I am not sure for what application. I am thinking possibly TR7/8 because of the angle of the choke cable clamp.....

Here are some pics.

Any help would be appreciated

They might not be intended for <span style="font-style: italic">any </span>Triumph.

Jaguar, Vauxhall, Saab, and Volvo also used the ZS 175CD at various times.

I didn't see a reference to that sealed float chamber bottom when I checked my Haynes ZS manual.

Are there any ID numbers on the carbs? I can do some more digging tonight.

Oh, I am not a carb guru by any stretch of the imagination!

Someone here will know what they are --or maybe try the other BCF forums.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, I checked my Haynes Weber/ZS/SU manual before I posted and didn't find anything that looked similar.

I will check and see if there are any other identifiers on them.

I might try a cross post in the Jag forums as well.

Cheers,
