Weber rebuild recommendations, DIY or find a Pro? Are these 44s? Options

[seanpaulmc]

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?

(2 new pics added - other side of carb)

Thanks in advance,

Yes they're 44's, really meant for 2270cc+ engines but will work on a 2.0.

I'd machine the air cleaner bottoms flat and add velocity stacks. I think that's what you're calling inlet venturis.

You also need a sync tool, I recommend the more expensive BK snail sync or the china copy, don't bother with the uni-sync.

You need a good linkage, #1 reason for tuning issues is junk linkage. I hate the hex bar linkage and have tossed many sets in the trash.

A wide band O2 meter and a jet reamer set makes jetting easy.

I use 3 fuel filters, one before the pump and one before each carb.
Use FI hose clamps not the common worm gear clamps and use a quality menthol proof fuel hose.
Fuel pump must push no more than 4psi, 3.5 would be perfect, I use a pressure regulator.
