I took the carb off my David Brown 3800 (3 cyl. gas) tractor to give it a cleaning - probably the first in many years.

It looked a bit familiar - it is marked Zenith 341VN.  Is that the same carb as the 2 1/4 litre Land Rover?  There are some elderly Rovers in the yard, but no 2 1/4 to check.

3 cyl. distributors being a bit unusual, this engine has a 6 cyl. AC Delco one with three of the teats corked!

The carbs not identical but the same family.

Thanks, John.
Possibly close enough that the same gaskets would fit?
It seems to be working fine now with the old gaskets, but they'll be toast if I
take it apart again.
