Weber Carb. Advice please
Discussion
Morning all
I know a little about SU's but the Weber's are all new to me. My 32/36 DGV in my 1600m is giving me some problems. I'll run if I either have the choke out or my foot on the gas, but it will not idle on it's own any more. My guess would be that some muck has got into a needle valve.
Anyway, my questions is, is there a source of information, like a service guide or one of the haynes carb books that'll help me. Haynes do a couple but has anyone used them?
Cheers
Rob

Alan, I have that book! I can't remember seeing anything about the carb set ups, I'll go check tonight. I've also found the Haynes carb book for pre 79 units on eBay for a few quid, so that’s on its way.
While I'm here... the air filter assembly should have a pipe that draws the air in from across the exhaust pips, but it’s missing. Does anyone know what the donor vehicle was for it? or where I might be able to fond a replacement?

Hi, sounds to me like you have an air leak somewhere on the carb, at a guess, the base gasket as they do deteriorate with age. But check the vacuum pipe as well if there is a crack in the rubber connector change it!!
Otherwise take the jets out and blow them out carefully, you could have
a blockage in the slow running jet.
If you do not have the confidence to do this, find a local specialist who has a reputation and experience of race cars.These guys normally have great experience of all Webers.
