Dammit, sometimes i think i am loosing my mind. Doing a rebuild on my webers (recondition really) and everything is organized and going just swell on carb no. 1, when i realize i cannot find my accel pump diaphragm spring. For the life of me, I had everything in a labeled compartmentalized plastic box. Guess not EVERYTHING. Having searched high and low, i have come to the conclusion that its either a) dissolved in the berrymans carb cleaner, or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) someone is trying to drive me crazy and has snuck in a swiped the spring.

Where can I buy just the spring? Hit all the usual weber sources online, and no one seems to carry them.

Well thats handy....going to be in Salt lake this week for biz. I just found myself at the hardware store and found some springs that were really closed to what i need, just needed a little cutting down. You may have saved me from yet another boneheaded move!

What did you think of the Berrymans?

I tried it this past go around, and was really unhappy with it. I let it sit for 2 days, and everything that I pulled out was gummy. I had to re-hand clean everything with carb cleaner before I could re-assemble. I', never going to bother with the Berrymans again.

So far I like it. It really gets the crud off, but I do blast it off with aerosol B-12 and air. I figure thats a good time to give everything a close inspection outside in the light.

My biggest beef with Berrymans is that it seems to induce a splitting headache. I have taken to running a fan when using it, and also minimizing the time i have the can open.

You found something else to use?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ...after you get beyond the basic crud and dirt removal, with "purple" orange "or whatever soap.....use MAG WHEEL CLEANER....cleans everything up so good the carbs look new...might take a couple of cycles . be sure to do a dunk and soak for 15 minutes in water too make sure the mag wheel cleaner is nuteralized... Blow dry. you can clean all the other carb parts the same way..I use a tooth brush for the small parts.....best part is no poisonus chemicals to inhale. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) .
