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? |

I've had this thread open in a browser tab on my laptop for two months now, meaning to ask this question.
Regarding the post in this link, #41 in this thread. @mepstein - Mark, can you please tell me about your vapor blasting setup? I have a lot of part restoration to do. Ideally I'd like to do some dry ice lasting, but it's cost prohibitive. This vapor blasting idea interests me as the results here were fantastic. Thanks! Aha! Just re-read post #36 Apparently I need to read this thread @bbrock - I should also say that I'm a big fan of the your work. Thanks for posting your progress on 914world!
