Good morning, I am new to the forum and not sure where to post this , anyway we have a Fairbanks Morse 1 1/2 HP Z , someone has removed the original mixer and installed a Flo Jet carburetor, apparently it did run at some point, we are looking for a substitute for this carb as it is prone to leaking, any thoughts?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Have you looked at all on Smokstak.com? Plenty of info there on FM 'Z's , and a sales / want ad bulletin board too. You might try a rebuild kit for the FloJet carb in the meantime, it might help fix the leaks.  :cheers:

Hi, yes I am a member of that forum, just looking for other inputs, carb has been rebuilt, they are prone to leaking.

If it were me i think i'd try adapt a motorbike carb to it. Honda 50cc are about the smallest that i know of, they are 4 hp, so they should be a good match.

Thanks, looking at all options, any idea on Honda P/N?
