Features
- Brass pontoon float construction
- Soldered double wall for optimum buoyancy
- Hinged mounting with needle valve
- Suitable for rebuilding Zenith Model 29 carburettors
- Essential component for correct fuel level
★ The float determines the fuel level in the float bowl — incorrect weight or damaged float leads to fuel starvation or flooding. Always use a float with correct weight and intact solder seams.
Application
This float fits various versions of the Zenith Model 29 carburettor. Note: the Model 29 was used on different WWII military vehicles, but not all variants are identical — jets and metering differ per application. Verify this is the correct float for your specific Model 29 version.
Installation notes
Always check the float for leaks (immerse in hot water, look for bubbles) before installing. Mount the hinge pin correctly in the carburettor body. Check fuel level after installation — adjust level via thickness of gaskets under the needle valve, NEVER bend the float itself. Recommended fuel pressure: 4.5-5 PSI maximum.
Compatibility
The Zenith Model 29 exists in multiple variants with different jets, but the float is often interchangeable between these versions. Carburettor kits for Model 29 are application-specific — a kit for Dodge WC is NOT identical to a kit for M8/M20 armoured cars or other applications. Verify compatibility based on your carburettor number (stamped on round plate on top of carburettor).
Historical context
The Zenith Model 29 was a robust updraft carburettor used on various WWII military vehicles. Zenith produced these carburettors in both die-cast and later cast iron versions during the war.
