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? |

www.webercarbdirect.com sells the kit for $18. Are all the kits the same? redline weber.Rich No, they're not all exactly the same. But all of the kits that I've seen are not different enough to justify paying twice the price. I would recommend buying both kits from the same place though, as I've seen different kits with slightly thicker/thinner gaskets. And BTW - I've had nothing but positive experiences from Redline myself. |

Makes sense. Bought them from Weber Carb Direct since $18 beats the hell outta $40. It was like getting the syncro tool for free.
