  1. Looking more closely at the Amazon one, I noticed a non adjustable main jet and the throttle linkage is slightly different. It probably still came from the same source.
  2. I checked the throttle shaft rotation on the Daytona carb and it is counter clockwise just like the BB. It should work if you don’t need the automatic choke and can live with a different air cleaner. The throttle lever is adjustable and can be clocked 360 degrees with respect to the blades. The one above looks to be the same as the one I described above. Much better price too!
  3. That replacement carburetor looks a lot like the Daytona universal carburetor sold by Carb Doctor out of Texas. If it is, it is pretty much a Zenith 28/228 carburetor. I purchased one for my 37 IHC D2 so I could keep it on the road while I got parts and machining done on the original Zenith 23. Not a bad carb when compared to the worn out original. (It is a universal so Venturi size, etc may not be exactly the same.). Setup was easy and it does the job. As mentioned earlier, the choke is manual. The Sisson won’t work. The height is slightly shorter. I thought the throttle shaft rotation was the same as on my D24 but didn’t spend much time comparing it to the Carter as I was more focused on the Zenith it was replacing. I can see where the air cleaner might not clamp on also. If you need more info on the throttle rotation, I can verify it against the BB in my ‘48 but the folks here are very knowledgeable and usually catch that sort of thing right out of the box. best of luck rick
  4. I use a Fram HPGC1 mounted on the frame rail. Total overkill but it is a sturdy metal filter housing with a replaceable element. Very easy installation and very flexible as far as placement. rick
  5. Maybe the spacers were added to get the fan closer to the radiator in an attempt to improve cooling (??).
  6. I am not disputing the manual or anyone. Simple fact is bigger cable is less resistance for current resulting in more battery power available to the starter. sorry I chimed in
  7. 3/0 refers to 000 cable. The area of 000 cable is 85 square mm. 1/0 or 0 cable is 53.5 square mm. I would recommend 3/0 cable. What’s on there now is too small for 6v I’m my experience.
  8. 1/0 cable seems small. Would recommend 3/0 in addition to the other items mentioned. -Rick
