I didn't want to hijack the other thread but have a question about my own Webers. They are Italian 40IDFs I bought in the late 80s or early 90s. Other than finger tight bolting them on to my engine to see how cool they looked, they have never been used. No fuel has touched them. I don't remember if I even opened them to set the float levels. BUT... they were stored in a humid basement for several years before I moved to a civilized climate. So, the magnesium housing is tarnished on the outside and the plating has deteriorated on a few of the levers and such. Pretty minor stuff from what I can see.
My question: is there is anything special I should do or check other than inspecting for corroded parts and normal setup as I prep these for service? |

Pierce Manifold is very good as are others..
https://www.piercemanifolds.com/Default.asp On the cold start...you can buy the exterior block off plate but you will need to reuse the interior parts...the spring holds down a little piston that is the real block off...when the lever is moved it raises the piston in the port lets fuel dump down the bottom of the carb. look at the diagrams and it will make sense. Yes old Holley's....have rebuilt many a 4 barrel and deuces (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) you are correct...same thing so you won't have any problems they are easier and are totally made for rebuilds....unlike some of the Holley stuff |
