Zenith carb

Postby Tractor Rod » Tue Feb 27, 2024 9:23 am

I have a 1948 cub and was wondering if anybody can tell me the model number of the zenith carburetor that it’s supposed to have on it?

Thanks.

A 48 Cub would originally have had an IH updraft carburetor installed. A Zenith can be retrofitted with several modifications. The Zenith number is 13794E.

An IH carburetor is an easier fit on a 48. The Zenith is #13794E but there are things you will need to be aware of to make it fit correctly and work right.
