    Good news !

    Too bad they neglected to post the list price of this carby .

    I'm of mixed mind about adjustable main jets , few know how to twiddle them correctly .

    I *do* like this carby , it has many nice details like a float bowl drain plug for easy field service...

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Called the nearest distributor listed on Zenith's web site and gave them the Zenith number of the model 28 carb on a 55.2 1/2 ton (Zenith 0-11779). They crossed it to a currently available model 228 carb (Zenith 0-14275) that they would be happy to sell to me for SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS!!! They want $62 for a kit (Zenith # K2002) for the original carb.

    Ouch!
