The Zenith manual I have says that the carburettor is set up "for use with petrol spirits of densities between 700 and 750 degrees." So presumably if modern petrol has a different density the height in the float chamber will be different/wrong? The manual says "The correct level for the petrol in the float chamber corresponds to 3 m/m below the top of the main jet cover. On the vertical type, it is necessary to dismount the Carburettor from the engine and rig it up on a bench with a spare tank. The main jet is taken out and the plug replaced underneath, when the level in the main jet cover can be seen by peering down the top of the Carburetter"
