Part numbers: ERC2886 554149
Disassembled, inspected, modified, and reassembled at our workshop.
Then road tested on our workshop Series.
Aftermarket copies of the Zenith 361V or 36IV carburettors are notoriously unreliable, thanks to casting defects, poor quality parts and assembly errors. Quality varies widely across different suppliers and manufacturers, and between different carburettors in the same manufacturing batch. Few work properly and reliably without modification.
The Weber 34ICH carburettor is more reliable out of the box. It’s marketed as a Series carburettor and it's a workable solution, but not ideal. Unlike the Zenith, which was specified by Land Rover and is very well matched to the 2.25 engine, the Weber is a generic carburettor that happens to work acceptably on a Series. A good Zenith in good tune is better. The difference is not night and day, but it's real and pleasant.
We source the aftermarket Zenith copies with the highest quality alloy castings. We disassemble them, modify them and turn them into carburettors that are as good as our restored Genuine Zeniths. We then road test each carburettor before shipping it. We back it with a one-year Series Magic warranty.
The best Zenith copies have excellent castings, but their assembly surfaces need to be lapped flat (as the CNC head passes over them at the factory, it releases stresses in the castings, which cause them to distort slightly). We replace the nitrile float bowl O-ring with one that's more resistant to the additives in modern fuels, which are a common cause of Zenith deterioration. We bench test numerous components, replace any faulty or substandard ones, and rectify any assembly errors. We then road test it on our workshop Series.
