Just for the community info: I actually had the dies done for the Zenith 28RXZ gaskets. I did a batch of gaskets and I also buyed a batch of gaskets, membrane and needle valves for the Stromberg Zenith 150CD and 150CD3. Anybody wishing some sets can contact Collin for the US or me for Europe.
I also collect spare parts of Rectimo's engines, in particular the manifold pipes, the divider (where the carb attaches), the oil filler plug plate, the 28RXZ carburator, the engine to magneto coupling and the Bendix magneto (for those who switch to a Slick). I consider trading of other RF parts

Eugenio,
What carburettor do I have installed on my L1700E01 engine and would you be the person to source the rebuild kit for this carb?
Thanks,
Kadir

If yours is a black coloured carb it is a 150CD (the older one) with the needle setting from below the carb bowl.
It is anymore in use because no more parts are availabel. Those installed later (say since 1980) are 150CD3, they looks the same, but are quite different. Parts for these carburetors can be found in carburetor-specialized workshops that work on old cars, or you can find some parts on line on specialized e-shops, especially in UK or USA. The carb was used on UK produced cars like Mini Minor or Land Rover or other english cars (sorry do not know which exactly)
I have some repair kits for that carb, but they are expensive, a full set of gasket, membrane and needle valve is about 80 euro.

You are a great man Eugenio,
Yes mine is a black one and even Limbach themselves could not find the repair kit for this carb.
If you have kits to ship to istanbul Turkey, just tell me how much for the shipping and where to send the money

Collin,
Getting this old lady to flying condition would have been impossible without the help of all the great people, articles and advice contained in this forum.
Thank you all for all this help, greatly appreciated.
