Sean N Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Or Norman Aish (Bygone Bedford Bits), or Burlen Services. If you Google 'Zenith carburettor parts' quite a few results come up. Is it a 48VIR on a Goddess, I can't remember? Edited April 16, 2015 by Sean N Misremembering carb number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gas 44 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 yes ordered the repair kit should be great...not getting a spark now think the electronic ignition is broken Ive heard mixed reveiws re electronic ignition. Last year a fella in Normandy had the same happen,I think there has been a couple of people on here thats had problems. Fitted one to our Dodge but still keep the base plate,points and condensor handy with the tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you condemn the electronic ignition, the rotor arm should be given the HT leak test as they are first component to break down normally.

paulob1 Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) points.... took me few seconds to find the fault...had worn down over time and not working, need a new set but all running sweet now, been testing her as we are surrounded by fires at the moment. DOnt my place going up I have 200 acres of very dry heath and forest... so we have three pumps two portable godiva's 350 gallons per minute and the GG...we are building a water trailer out of a zil131 chassis and two tanks, fitted to the back of a zil 131 with the pump and another two 1000 litre ibcs, so a total of well over 5000 litres of water... plus the pond..
