Talk:Zenith Carburettor Company (British)

[Untitled]

There are several ways to spell carburetor/carburettor/carburetter. The second two are listed in UK dictionaries, the first is American I believe. This article moved from one spelling to another. For the sake of consistemcy within the article, I have made the spelling 'carburettor' throughout. I chose this because it is the most usual of the UK spellings, and because it was a British company. I have not changed the spelling in the company name. Emeraude 17:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Just noticed the same multi-spellings on SU carburetor. Will make similar changes there. Emeraude

Comparison with SU

The article states that the carburettor was developed to break SU's patents. Yet the decription of operation is identical (one was clearly copied and pasted from the other). The article need to state what the essential feature was that circumvented SU's patent. 20.133.0.13 (talk) 14:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

The Zenith-Stromberg CD had a rubber diaphragm. The SU relied on the close fit between piston and suction chamber. That's the essential difference, although there were others - for example, the SU piston was smaller in diameter and its maximum travel was longer. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

MG cars

"Zenith-Stromberg carburettors used in MGs" - when? Where? Very hard to believe, when you consider that MG were part of the Nuffield group, which also owned SU. Indeed, William Morris bought Skinner's Union so that he wouldn't have to buy carburettors from outside, so naturally he'd have fitted them to all his cars, be they Morris, Wolseley or MG. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Late model MGBs exported to certain markets (including the united states) used Zenith-Strombergs. Here is a link with some information https://www.sbmsclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/zenith-stromberg-tech-tips.pdf Somecardude (talk) 18:08, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
