Did any 914-6 engine come original with Zenith carbs?
When I look at the Porsche 914 Factory Parts Catalogue, it appears to list only two carburetor part numbers (left and right) which are 40 IDT Weber. We acquired an engine that is 914-6 correct number range, but has Zenith 40 TIN on it. Is there any chance they are correct? I'm guessing someone just didn't care about originality, and threw them on there. Thank you. |

Zenith 40 TIN came on 911 T motor. They were German made. Depending on who you talk to they were a better carb than the Webers. Not as finicky and easier to maintain.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jul 18 2022, 03:56 PM)  Zenith 40 TIN came on 911 T motor. They were German made. Depending on who you talk to they were a better carb than the Webers. Not as finicky and easier to maintain. Do you have to do anything special to get the Zenith to work correctly in a 914-6? Other than the carbs, did anything make a 914-6 engine different than a 911T? |
