wardy18 33 1 Cars Posted February 6, 2008 Hi all sorry ive tried searchin but i just cant find the thread any more, some on here a few months had some old weber that they cleaned up and they look apsolutely spotless, WHO WAS IT and HOW DID THEY DO IT?! ALSO upon opening one of my 45's up i found that a float has come un soldered from the arm, im assuming im doing to be safer buying a new float part (ie 2 floats connected to the arms) where can i source individual parts for the carbs these days?! ALSO is there any guidelines for re-conditioning the webers carbs as to be brutally honest i have got a clue where to start, i really hope theer some step by step guideline or even some idea of what do to where please help Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monty69 6 Posted February 8, 2008 Get all my parts from fastroadcars.co.uk very helpful chap, knows his stuff. I would also buy the how to build and power tune weber and dellorto book by des hammill speedpro series. Cleaned mine with thinners and carb cleaner and tooth brush, maybe aly polish will shine them?

christopher 5 1 Cars Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) Lets face it. Its not how they look is it? It's how they perform. I have reconditioned 4 sets of 20 year old carbs now and they all run like new. It's amazing what kind of affliction carbs get over the years by people who haven't a clue what they are doing. If it is the look you are after, I have cleaned and polished using dremels and creams. They end up looking ok. But will dull as the metal oxidises. Actually even new ones will dull. Reconditioning is simple steps... 1) Dismantle 2) Inspect 3) Clean 4) Replace broken parts 5) Assemble 6) Test 7) Adjust 8) Install 9) Adjust I have heard the haynes books are good for the DCOE. The green one you can find on e-bay. I would start there.. Two words of advice... Do one at a time and TAKE your time Edited February 8, 2008 by christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
