I'm rebuilding a set of Dellorto DRLA 40's. I bought new throttle shafts or sindles as well as new spindle bearings and butterfly vavles. I'm having a very hard time getting the bearings pressed in the carb body and on the shaft, all well keeing it lined u for the valves to go in. I've already wrecked one new shaft, and may have wrecked the other. They're not chea so before I go ahead and attemt this with 2 new shafts I'd love some tips.
Thanks and tara! |

In the CB Dellorto overhaul manual, it states not to take the bearings and shafts out for an overhaul, or 'you'll have to go to a VW Bug shop since they have the special tools for installation'.
I've never taken my carbs that far down but I can see why now. Hopefully someone here has the "special tools" needed you can loan out or find a local shop to install them for you. |

Thank you very much. I had to replace them because one was seized due to rust and the other one had some rust on it and was a litlle "bound up with tightness" as my mechanic unlcle would say. There are a couple VDub garages here in Pensacola. I'm gonna throw in the towel and bring them to one of em. Thanks again, I've been pulling my hair out on this.
