I tried stretching the detent spring first, Why not replace the detent springs instead. Stretching springs does nothing to restore their "spring" just makes them longer. You need to replace it with a new one in order to really determine if that's the problem. Besides, they are cheap. Replace the little balls too. >> the selector rods should "horizontally mirror that - like - >>3/4 1/2 R yes this is correct >But according to the key to the layout diagram in Haynes, the rod in the >middle (seen from above, looking forward) is 3/4, the lefthand rod is >1/2, and the diagram agrees on right hand rod for Reverse. Forget about the diagram. The middle one is 1/2. I think the trick is that you have to put two of them in and then to get the last one in you have to lift one of the two a little bit. >I know they can't be put on wrong - but they have to be remounted in the >correct order, therefore identification is helpful. I used the diagram the first (of many) time I did this. Haven't used it since, just fiddle with em until they go in. Best thing is to put each one in by itself, and see how they go. then just try different combinations until you get them all in. >Is this a misprint? or is there something I have overlooked (like >getting my mechanic to do it) ? Nnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! >>Anyone with a quick tip? 1. Be a good time to install a breather in the little disc on the tranny cover. 2. Don't forget the Hylomar. 3. DO NOT bolt the floors in until you have driven it a bit.

I bet its in there. Usually falls out when the lid comes up. If you don't find it spin the gears a couple of times. Your shifting from 1/2 would have felt odd if you hadn't had the ball. There would not have been the feeling of "engagement" that you get when the ball clicks. Also there would probably be funny wear on the spring end and selector shaft, where the two rub together > the gears are unworn, and there are signes of >recent rebuild on the gearbox - the 3/4th (lefthand - or is it the 1/2 >selectior fork is new!) Can't see the constant speed gears...(4th) >>So it all remains a mystery to me! It will until you strip the box. Can you hold it in gear? If so then a pice of coat hanger works well to hold it for you. If you want to be fancy (!) a piece of perspex can be shaped to hook around the lever too.

For those pre-registered (too late for that) or those camping at the site (and why would an LRO not do that?), it really begins Friday evening (the 29th). Have fun there; wish I could go this year but have a big meeting on Friday and would need both Thursday and Friday off work to get there from No. Cal. in the oh, so slow Snark.

From: Brian Tuffs <btuffs@norcen.com> Subject: Zenith Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 15:10:50 -0600 Folks, I know Zenith carbs have been discussed to death, but I think I have a new question.... Just finished rebuilding the carb(an old Zenith - the ones with 'Solex' still stamped on the outside), replaced jets with same sized ones etc and adjusted the float to the 1 5/16" specified in the manual (this is a lot higher than it was set at previously). The carb now displays all the symptons of fuel starvation, irregular idle, stalls when braking hard in reverse (!). The 'idle mixture screw' has to be turned out ~4.5 turns so the engine will idle smoothly (prescribes ~ 1.5 turns in the manual). The truck is now obviously running rich with a sooty-black tailpipe and high fuel consumption. Am I missing something, should I just adjust the float lower (or in reality 'higher') to allow more fuel in the body of the carb. ??? Or, should I just go out and buy a Rochester (what is involved in the transplant?). Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Brian Tuffs '66 SWB "Blue" (newly rebuilt engine and 'home-spray'). ------------------------------[ <- Message 15 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970823 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
