Personally I would enjoy no horns or cigarettes in my car but it rains here in Fl. Good luck. No doubt it will be found to be a fault in the combination ...
Hallo I would rather disconnect the horn wires at the horn and have the wipers working.... The fault is most likely at the steering wheel where the contacts...
Having spent the last 6 months wiring my 280, I can not think of how you could short the horn at the contacts. You may want to check to see if the wire for the...

You have to balance the opening of the primary throttles on the two carbs with an air flow meter. It is not possible to "see" that they are opening equally. ...
I really appreciate the advice. I didn't think I would have to do all this since they were functioning before the carb cleaner. Dang. Looks like I got to...
One more question: I have read posts and manuals but none describes how to get to the idle jet. Do you have to remove the carb to get to it? And how...
Hallo Rick I haven't done any work on the Zenith's for a while (did a good job that time you see (tongue in cheek)), so I can't remember where the idle circuit...
No power to idle when on load: I had the same problem. The solution: advance the timing to about 12degrees btdc at 850 rpm, and that was the end of that...

I did what you suggested. And it was still high idle either way. Then I read about the choke fast idle adjustment. I cranked them back a few turns and the...

I don't think thats the problem. Sounds like something is wrong with the fueling system (idle/intermediary circuit) or ignition ie late timing. ... From: v g ...
Hi my Benz smokes when the brake is applied and then when you take off again but after that the smoke goes away. Also when you turn the car off if keeps on...
Jennifer Without asking a silly question but what do you mean by smoke? Smoke from the brakes, the tires or the engine or the muffler. A little more detail...
Hallo I agree with Al: a litle bit more detail will help a lot. At first blush, it would seem that your two problems might be related. A question in the...
