There were two brands of carbs.used on a farmall B. One was Marvel Schebler the other was Zenith. Zenith made two carbs. One with a adjustable main jet and the other with a non adjustable main jet. My B has been in the family since new.It came from factory with Adjustable main jet but the last 40 years it's been on a non adjustable main jet. On the adjustable carb. we started out at 2 turns from bottom on high speed & 1 1/2 on idle then go from there . On the non adjustable set it about 1 1/2 out on the idle.

If you are rebuilding a Zenith carb check your kit carefully. The last two kits I have used had the bowl vent hole omitted from the gasket. Caused all kinds of flooding and leakage problems until I found it.
