Has anyone had any experience with a Chinese Zenith carb for the Ford 3000? When I search for carbs, they range from around $130.00 for a Chinese to $400.00 for non Chinese?
Is there enough of a difference to justify the extra expense of the non Chinese carb?
I haven't had a chance to fire the tractor up since I've gotten it but I've read enough to determine a carb upgrade will make my life easier when I finally do. I don't want to rebuild the old Holley only to find out that I should have sprung for the Zenith. Not to mention that I've seen several comments that the Holley is finicky. This tractor will be parked most of its life and only used a few times a year for mowing. I want the best odds of it firing up after long periods of sitting.
Thanks
