Hey guys I'm having a little trouble with my weber44's. My passenger side carb seems to have the float or something sticking. After running for a while it stops getting fuel. My fuel lines are all new to both & I checked them for plugs. I'm definately not the best mechanic. I'm wondering if there is a good rebuild kit for them 44's. I can follow directions pretty well & think I could probably handle the carbs. Or at least do my usual of doing it myself & then paying my wrench to fix my work! Any thoughts & experiences appreciated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Tap on the carb with the wooden end of a hammer. The float may be sticking. You can easily pull the top off of the carb in question. Remove the air cleaner/remove the velocity stacks/then start unscrewing all the screws for the carb top itself. The carb top lifts out of the body of the carb and the floats stay with it (unless I'm mixing it up with Dell carbs) << I know the float stays with those. You can then "work" the float by hand and even have somebody turn the pump on for you while you hold the floats in the closed position. Slowly open them and watch for fuel. Do this over a container of some sort to catch the fuel.
You dont need a rebuild kit to figure this out. B |
