I have Webbers 40 that were sitting for 10 years and are stuck, I have them off of the car and have tried WD40 to un stick them. I am not forcing them. Right now I am very easy because I do not want to scar anything. Does any one have magic formal to open these up and who does a good job on rebuilding Webbers? This site says the Motor Meister is no good on engine rebuilding but who does a good job on cleaning Webbers?

When I yanked apart my carbs, I bought a gallon container of the Gunk solvent. It came with a tray (with small holes to drain the fluid) to soak the small parts.

Disassemble them as much as you can without forcing anything, and let the stuff soak for a while. Even if you don't get them unstuck, you'll help clean them up for your rebuilder and save yourself some labor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also, for just the throttle shafts, you might try some Marvel Mystery Oil. It's good stuff, too.

I know that Gint sent his Webers out a while back, but I don't remember who he sent them to.
