G'day i have been using a 38mm zenith for sometime with no problems and have just repowered with a stock 80 cu shovel motor and changed to a 40mm carb. it was going alright and then started mucking around and i think the problem was a coil breaking down, but i have been trying to find out where i can get a fuel tube c66-184-2 from, as i cant track one down but have read that someone on the forum did order one but there was no mention of where he got it from . i would like to try this jet as it is supposed to richen up the mid range area . any guidence in with this would be appreciated ...... thanks kev

 

Not that it helps you, but I use to work at Zenith Fuels systems in the Late 80's. I assembled & Flo tested those carbs. I had forgot about them until I read your post.

 

Actually, I think a company in Washington State bought them out in the early 90's. They still have the factory a couple of miles from my house although I doubt they still build any carbs for harleys. I think they moved everything to Washington. I know a guy who does business with them. I will ask if he can find out what the company name is now.

 

thanks for reply ,you can still buy bendix zenith carbs no probs the one i put on was manafactured in 05 and has a c66-184 jet but read that a c66-184-2 is a jet that is supposed to be available . i probably will have to sorce it in USA as i am in western australia and there is nobody here that can help the smaller carb that i had on the bike was in good condition and also had the same jet ,the bike went ok with it and i put the new one on because every thing else is new ..cheers kev

 

Zenith Fuel Systems is still business you can call them to see if they have the part numbers your looking for. My wife worked their 2 years ago and they were still building the Harley carbs then, chance is there still building them..

Phone number is 1-276-669-5555, plant is located in Bristol, Va
