[GJUK]

Hi guys,

Regarding 45 dcoe weber carbs. I need to get mine serviced. I've found this kit. Seems cheap enough but it has reference to a needle kit. How do I know if that is the right one for mine?

Hi Chaps.

 

Well, all I can say is I'm slightly stunned at how the chap in Chesterfield is still in business.

 

He was, most, unhelpful and very difficult to get anything out of.

 

I asked him "Not knowing much about carbs, do they require frequent rebuilding?"

 

Reply "yes..."

 

Me "May I ask, roughly how often?"

 

*long pause*

 

Reply "5 years..."

 

Me "And how much would you charge for this kind of service?"

 

*long, long, pause*

 

Reply "No idea."

 

*pause*

 

Me "Okayyyy, thanks for your time."

 

 

 

The Nottingham Place said "Just lob them on" and they will be fine. As pinto use 32 or 34 chocks, and as they're off a pinto they will run okay, just drop them on.

 

Still not sure if I need to 'service' them with new gaskets etc.

Dont think i would bother rebuilding that carb, Just swop it for a 38 DGAS.

I did on my RS many years ago, possibly one of the best mods i did.
