P77 Zenith Float Tool - Where To Buy One?

#1 Post by Conrad Carter »

I cannot find one for sale. AL T doesn’t have one in stock. Baum, ToolsOnHand, Pelican cannot get them. Does anyone know where I might find one. New or used.

I would go with the Precision Matters gauge. The P77 is difficult, if not impossible, to use on the left carburetor with the engine in the car. The PM device is much easier to use. (Of course, if you're a traditionalist.........)
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.....

EB has them in their on-line store (as do others) but told me they are not in stock and don't expect to get any anytime soon. So, I did order the replacement tool from Precision today.

Al Tiedemann did send me his personal P77 tool to use which I greatly appreciate! I do plan to purchase his tool once it is in stock. Unfortunately, my day (today) at my remote garage did not go as planned as other things got in the way of my carb work.

Maybe next week. I want to thank all of you for your response. Does anyone have an original P77 tool for sale?

Conrad
