Can a "shade tree" mechanic like myself do this without a major cluster F*#k? I know how to label, sort and be meticulous, and how to do one at a time. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being an oil change and 10 being clutch replacement in an XKE!) whattaya think?
Ken P.S. Bought the car after it had sat for years. Rode it home from CT to MD and it ran fine for about 150 miles. Then it began to act fuel starved under any load...up hills, accelerating, etc. It gets worse day by day. I've changed fuel filter (pretty clean actually), plugs and wireset. Should I clean idle jets first...before attempting this? Any chnace I'll get the thing running again if I do this? |

BTW...how can I be 100% sure these are Weber 40S (before I order rebuild kits)? I'm assuming they are, but I see no labeling outside of the "WEBER" logo.

Some have a 40 on the square part right under the fuel inlet. Some have the 40 down low on the side of one of the barrels. Rich |

FINALLY...found it...very low on on of the barrel fronts and VERY small: 40 IDF 60 5A Then my instructions and diagram are right on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The kit you will get will probably be the redline, which has parts for all sizes of weber IDF - so just use the ones that fit on the 40 IDF. |
