Hello World!
Looking for recommendations on rebuilding my Weber carburetors... Is this a DIY project for a newbie, or Are there recommended shops or vendors here for that? (updated with pictures) (2 new pics added - other side of carb) Thanks in advance, Sean |

Those are vintage IDF made in Italy Webers.
If you just want to flush them out and put kits in them it's an easy project. There's a good youtube video on how to properly set the float level. If the throttle shaft bearings are bad it's more complicated and you may want to hire the rebuild out. You can check them by grabbing the linkage at each end of the throttle shafts and see if they have movement (the bearings should be tight with no up/down movement in them). If the bearings are bad there's a chance the throttle plates are also worn. Regards, Tim |

Regards, Tim (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Look for carbon tracking on the butterflies, if it has this likely the bearings or bushings are shot. The rest is fairly easy, likely vid's on YT. |
