Anyone have any info on the differences between the Weber and the Zentih and why Porsche switched to the Zenith for the last few years of carb'd engine production?
I found a deal on some Zeniths and bought them and plan to use them on my "spare" 2.2E engine. James |

I seem to remember reading something on this.
As I recall (kinda shakey, at best), the Zeniths are German.....and the Zenith guy pointed that out to the Porsche guy....prolly made Porsche a deal, too. Webers have better adjustibility.....I'm told. Parts availibilty is WAY better....for sure. |
