Well, actually, I have 2 cars with the dual zeniths, and both are more
than $500 cars. This particular one is a 69 250 4 speed manny, in VERY
good shape. PO spend a buttload of money on this car fixing all sorts
of things. Other car is a 72 250C, coupe, so its worth messing with as
well.

Seriously, the Zeniths are notorious for never running right. The tops are
usually warped, and that will never allow them to run right. Klebbie is
not going to spend $1000 -2000 putting webers on a $500 or less car. In my
experience you can get them to run ok at speed, but not idle right, or you
can get them to idle, but not run right on the road. The common cure is to
set the idle way high. (Or junk the car) This works ok for a highway car,
but it makes a crappy 'round town car.

Isn't the cure for Zenith carbs spelled "Weber" ???

Got this 69 250, dual carbs etc. I never drive it but been playing with
it here and there to get it road ready. Seems to run decent but will
not start unless you pour a little gas down the carbs. Once it starts,
it will keep running. Probably not perfect but not too bad. Sure it
needs to be adjusted. Even after warmed up, if you shut it off and try
and restart it right away, will not start unless gas is poured down the
carbs. Since I am a diesel man, I have no clue where to start. Fuel
pump not pumping? Anybody got any good info on properly setting up and
adjusting these dual zenith carbs?
