started cleaning my webers...
when ordering a rebuild kit for tripple throat webbers, what should I look for (what needs to be in the kit) when is it time to get the butterfly shafts rebuild? There is some movement at the linkage end of the shaft last but not least... one of the airbleed screws has broken off in the carb body (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) (I didn't do it, I took 'em off the car like that) I already tried to cut a slot in it to get a screwdriver in, but the screw is soft and stuck pretty nasty Any ideas? Or should I just take it to a machine shop (I don't feel comfortable drilling it out myself) Attached image(s) |

the rebuild kit will have the gaskets, o-rings, diaphragms for the accel pumps etc.
The shafts should have been checked while on the car, and the car running. spray some carb cleaner at the shafts while the car is idling. If the idle speed changes after a shot of cleaner, you should have the shafts rebushed. Sinces the carbs are off the car just grab the shaft and try to wiggle it if if moves just a teeny bit the shafts are fine, but if you can actually see and feel the shaft moving, they need to be rebushed Id try some heat on the air bleed screw, and see if that works... otherwise send it off to a machine shop |

It's quite possible that you've already reached that point. Save yourself the headache (ask me how I know) and just send 'em off and have them rebushed and rebuilt all at the same time. Start fresh and new. |
