I’m using one, a 32-36 on a 1600 OHC via an adaptor plate and it’s spot on. So smooth and responsive.

Thanks. I hope that it will work on mine. Mechanic suggested to switch to weber as the existing Zenith was leaking fuel....

Mine is excellent just make sure you get the accelerator linkage right and it is definitely getting full throttle.

Sorry I missed this? Hope you’re sorted. Obviously the Carburettor will need to be jetted for your engine and the fuel pressure checked.
