Hi guys - hope everyone’s had a good weekend so far.
I am about to rebuilt a set of Weber’s which will be a first for me. I’ve rebuild quite a few carb on the British cars I cut my teeth on, so am at least familiar with carbs in general. With the British cars all you need to do is see if can wiggle the throttle shaft to see if you have any play, if you do they need to be addressed. Is there a similar test on the Weber’s I should be checking - I assume so. False air is no fun. Thanks! |

While you have these accelerator pump covers off, use a medium course sandpaper on a flat surface (eg granite cabinet top) to sand the the covers flat. Tightening the four bolts over the many years can bend the bolt hole "ears".
