Help with M3A1 Scout Car Carb
Can anyone on here please help me identify the model of Zenith Carburetor that is installed on our M3A1 Scout Car? And are rebuild kits available for them?
Thanks in Advance,
Chris

Re: Help with M3A1 Scout Car Carb
I believe it should have a Zenith series 29 carb on it. Might have better luck finding the correct carb?

Re: Help with M3A1 Scout Car Carb
Look very closely at the round tag riveted to the top. You may have to brush away a few layers of paint to find the model number there.

2 types were used, that one is the early style. The 29 was used on the majority of scout cars. I will dig to see what the model is. As far as kits, maybe find something in Europe. At one time I was thinking that carb was the same one used on another vehicle, again will do some digging.

I seem to remember someone called "Scout Car Rob" here in the states. Does anyone know if they are still around?

Did you clean off and look at the round tag on top?

That round tag does not give the model number. The round tag says 92320. I have a model 29 zenith and that round tag reads 9982.
