914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Weber Carb Problem (IDA-3C)

Posted by: Lawrence914-6 Apr 18 2003, 04:09 PM

Got a problem. I pulled both carbs apart, cleaned and reassembled. They were dirty on the exterior, and pretty clean on the inside.

I think I was pretty thorough, and blew carb cleaner through all the passages.

Now, on the left (driver) side carb doesn't seem to feed fuel through the accelerator pump jets. Could I have assembled something wrong?

Advice?

Not sure what the problem was... but I fixed it.

I pulled the carb from the engine, and I took the pump apart with my eyes closed (so I wouldn't see how the pieces were in there). Then, I reassembled according to the diagram.

I must have had something loaded inside backwards. I should probably replace those rubber diaphrams soon. They're only two years old, but looked pretty ragged.

Bet you put the spring on the wrong side or the cam upside down or sump-tin stew-ped like that.

I don't know how many times I've put something together and said "DOH!!!!"

Least ya fingered it out!
