Okay guys (and gals?) I'm looking for input as to what would you recommend for cleaning my carburetors without rebuilding them? I am open to all recommendations...

None. Sorry. Open them up, clean with aerosol brake or carb cleaner and put new gaskets in, or don't bother.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) or maybe you cold just get a can of gold spray paint and do an "aerosol overhall" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

My trouble is, and the reason for this question, is that there are no rebuild kits available for my carburetors. There'll come a time when I'll just have to put out the money for a new set, but in the mean time, just trying to enjoy her...
Maybe there will be a TDI conversion in her future...(Baltimore to Daytona in one tank?) |

Now we're curious what kind of carbs you have that are so rare. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'll have to try and upload pictures. They're Brazilian Webers, (so I'm told), dual progressive. The # on the tag is W-450051, marking on the carb bowl, WECARBRAS with the Weber"W" immediately below that. Car runs fantastic when all is well....

Strip them down and toss all the bits in the dishwasher when the wife's out.
