Picked up a 75 914-6 that has been sitting way too long at a body shop 8-10 years. As if I need another project like a hole in the head.
The body shop went bankrupt and the car went thru a couple of hands.... It has a laundry list of problems, including flintstone brakes, disassembled and seized webers. I picked it up for a really good price about the price of a factory oil tank. I'll cover the car in a different tread. The IDA3C shafts are seized on both carbs. I've pulled the carbs and manifolds to clean them up and have a few questions. 1) What is the best way to separate the manifolds from the carbs. I've removed the bolts and tried gently tapping on the manifold to break them loose. 2) Is there any hope/tricks for un-seizing the throttle shafts? Would immersion ultrasonic cleaning have any chance in freeing them? Thanks for your input |

I think I still have some of the old school Berryman's carburetor dip (in 5-gallon cans), but It's getting harder to find locally (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... in fact I can't find the cans I [supposedly] have here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I've been told Berryman's is still available in 1-gallon cans, but with a lower VOC composition that isn't as strong. I have a set of 40 IDFs that's shafts are frozen. I've tried PB and immersing them in a U/S tank, but neither method freed them up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ... I think I'll try the diesel next |
