Carburetor: Hole in the bottom

Posted by J.R. Aiello on Oct. 15, 1998 at 13:14:11

More dumb questions from a newbie.

I have a Zenith carburetor. Don't know if it's a -1, -2, or -3. But with the car in the garage, it goes thru 1/8th of a tank a week. I've noticed a hole in the bottom of the carb, real small. My father-in-law calls it a "weep hole", saying that it is supposed to be there. I haven't read anything that says this. Not in the Restorer, or in the Ford Mechanics handbook. None of the drawings I have show this either.

Is this really the way it is supposed to be?

J.R.
