My Star has a W-4 engine with one of Frank's Zenith carbs. I have to both fully retard and choke it to get it to start even when it is hot. I then have to quickly advance the spark or it dies. If the engine is hot, I have to stop choking as well. Any suggestions?
Now there you go this place has parts for the 621 and 622. Just need to find such cars if they were even built or just an idea.

The BENDIX front brakes on my 1929 Durant RUGBY are adjusted by means of a 'wormscrew' and locknut. One of these has sheared and I am having difficulty locating a spare here in the UK. Anyone know where I can get one either here or in the USA?
Below are two links to three articles regarding Durants built in Canada. I learned that Durant was the number three car maker there, pretty impressive.
