Carburetors

Just curious which carburetor do you like best? (3/4 IH or Zenith) I think they both work quite well. :D

Gary,

Your question is like the proverbial questions:
Which oil is best?
Which spark plugs are best?

I think that your observation that "they both work quite well," is absolutely correct.

Im not an expect by any stretch of the means but my luck with running the larger zenith carb on the early C60's makes them a little more sluggish (throttle response) compared to the IH carb. However I did notice a gain when I switch my late C60 in a 154 to the zenith carb.

Having both carburetors, the only difference I have noticed is that the Zenith takes a bit longer to "warm" up than the IH carb.

I had a Zenith on my 154 that I liked a lot. For some reason at the end of every mowing season it would start to act up. I would have to run it half choked to get home. I'd get home, pull the carb, and clean out the crud, and I was good to go for another year. Maybe it was because I only mowed ditches with it, and in dry weather it was a dead grass dust bowl. I always kept that expensive air cleaner clean or replaced when needed. I haven't had any issues with my IH carbs.
