Hi
I assume your talking about a 21/4 l 4 cylinder engine?
If so A webber 34ICH carb will fit the bill just fine. I put one on my engine as my Zenith was knackerd - I did buy a lot of gaskets, the mickey mouse valve, spring, new spindle, etc. but could not get it run properly. If you do decide to buy a webber check to see if you have an adapter plate under your zenith as you will need it. The place is about 1/2" thick. If your zenith is bolted directly to the inlet manifold you will need to buy this adapter plate as well as the webber. Really check thoroly as the carb get covered in alot of crap at times and you could miss it.
Just remember to go easy on the thottle if you put the webber on as it will let your engine rev much easier and you could rev it too high (5200 rpm) and blow the engine - just remember to oil the linkage between you brain and accelerator foot and all will be fine.

Hope this helps

Martin.
