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? |

Get the CB Weber manual. 2056? Refresh my memory. 32mm Venturi for starters. I'll get the rest of the #s off of my 44s reconfigured for a 2056 later.

Get the CB Weber manual. 2056? Refresh my memory. 32mm Venturi for starters. I'll get the rest of the #s off of my 44s reconfigured for a 2056 later. It's a stock 1970 engine with 8.0:1 pistons. I think the 28mm venturi should be good for this engine but open to opinions bearing in mind that I'm not all that interested in top end and willing to sacrifice a little performance for fuel economy. Is this the CB manual you're suggesting? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.cbperformance.com-20845-1560964305.1.jpg) If so, that's one of the ones I have that I referenced as Tomlinsons before. No mention that I can find for adjusting accelerator pump but I'll look again. |
