There just had to be a use for the reject Zenith float chambers - Mr Fuggle found it!

Again, just because you have a 3D printer and laser engraver it doesn’t mean you should use them….

No useful float chambers were harmed, they either had holes in them, the throttle stop had broken off, they leaked or the mixture screw thread was mangled.

Dumfries Aviation Museum Wings and Wheels: Damp!

Thanks to the organisers because despite the appalling weather, there was a good turnout and great displays in their buildings.

Mr Fuggle got very wet but the new tilt in his carburetter test unit left the interior bone dry.

After a 60 mile round trip, Mr Fuggle is thinking of having his truck sign written “Gradient Detection Van”. It didn’t show that ability in Cambridgeshire and Northants….

SUS - Spruce-up Saturday!

Mr Fuggle finally got round to removing the rotten IKEA coconut mats and fitting the Luvverly CKD Shop floor mats. A couple of holes and a slot cut in for the pedals and they fit like the proverbial glove! Excellent!!

All in preparation for the Dumfries Aviation Museum Wings and Wheels show tomorrow. In the rain…

Well, that’s the Land Rover carburetters tidied away…..

There are 170 x Zenith 36IVs, 44 x Solex PBI-2s and 35 x Solex B40PAIOs - should keep Mr Fuggle quiet for a while.

Sorry, these two are sold now but a new batch will be along shortly - orders taken 😉

Farm Fresh Zeniths, get them here!

Mr Fuggle has two 36IVs available from the latest batch which have been fully restored to 'Bling' specification.
The castings have been vapour blasted and the steelwork has been re-plated.
Spindle bushes have been fitted and reamed to suit new spindles and butterflies.
All new gaskets and seals and a new diaphragm have been fitted, along with a new needle valve and tested original float -set up to the green book.
Once complete, you can see that they have been run-up on Mr Fuggle's Series 1 and idle speed and mixtures set.

One is a Zenith branded item, the other is the rarer Solex version, both exactly the same. The Zenith currently has the screw-on union for the plastic fuel lines but this can be swapped-out for a plain brass spigot for rubber pipe and jubilee clip application!

£250 plus postage and no VAT

A third one is in the wings, waiting for a backordered rebuild kit!

First batch-Fettle in the new Scottish Fuggle HQ! It’s not a log store any more!

A batch of 6 Zenith / Solex 36IVs and a brace of Solex 32PBI-2s getting the treatment.

Mr Fuggle’s left hand is doing OK but still no feeling for half of two of the fingers. I suppose it’s still early days!

We have rain up here. So while Mr Fuggle is shuffling stuff about to get the new Scottish HQ working, the test vehicle came out of the garage to release a bit of dry shuffling space and it went out for a bit of shrinkage! The new tilt has been dry since it was fitted but the back flap is a bit too low down as were the sides. After a bit of the wet stuff, the sides look much better so I hope the back will too and it’s very taught on the top.
