★ The Zenith Model 29 was the early carburettor fitted to Dodge WC-series vehicles (1942-1943), later replaced by Carter models. The adjustment needle is a crucial component for correctly setting the fuel mixture.
Application
For Dodge WC 3/4 ton 4x4 (1942-1943, early) and WC 1-1/2 ton 6x6 (1943, early) with Zenith Model 29 carburettor. Note: from mid-1943 the Zenith was replaced by Carter carburettors - therefore check first which carburettor type is fitted to your vehicle.
Installation notes
When adjusting: main mixture needle 4-4.5 turns open from closed position as starting point. Idle mixture needle 1-1.5 turns open. Allow engine to warm up before final adjustment. Clockwise adjustment = richer mixture (less air), anticlockwise = leaner mixture (more air).
Compatibility
ONLY for Zenith Model 29 carburettor. Not compatible with later Carter ETW1, DTA-1, DTA-2 or DTB3R carburettors fitted to Dodge WC-series from mid-1943 onwards. Check the type plate on your carburettor to ensure the correct model.
Historical context
The Zenith Model 29 was the standard carburettor on early WWII Dodge WC-series vehicles. Due to problems with vapour lock and the notorious 'Dodge cough' phenomenon during acceleration, it was replaced from 1943 onwards by Carter models.
