Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted September 24, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted September 24, 2018 Rob Morley at Ratrace is replacing the needle valves in mine at the moment. Potters Bar. Or call Troy at Northampton Motorsport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 ...or consider buying How to Build and Power Tune Weber and Dellorto DCOE and DHLA Carburettors (Speedpro Series) and having a go yourself. I also bought a Weber service kit from Fast Road Cars. I found it a great way to learn about the carbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnh Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I’m ok with fitting the guts of the carbs myself but want the whole package including blasting to look like new.. just looking to way up a few prices before I decide on my winter project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted September 25, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted September 25, 2018 Chris (Areoscreens)Interesting idea, as I have an old set. Something to mess about with once I choose to stop earning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 DIY is ok as long as you make a note of exactly how many turns the idle screws are set to. Assuming they're going back on the same engine of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonym Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 second for Paul Hollidge. Fantastic job on my carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted September 29, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted September 29, 2018 From the page about the book Chris refers to: https://fastroadcars.co.uk/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=189&search=How+to+Build The Weber choke/fuel enrichment device can be troublesome when it gets a bit worn and can pass a huge amount of extra air/fuel mixture into the engine; in fact to such an extent that the engine may not even run. The problem being that, although the mechanism is in the off position, it only takes a bit of lever wear and a jammed starter valve (in the up position) and you have a very rich mixture. However, if the choke has never been used (most have not) this situation will not arise. The choke outlets can be blocked off permanently to preclude this happening. Note that if either of the starter valves found in a carburetor do not seal off they will allow fuel mixture to pass by.Well on one of my pair - despite the choke having never been used - something like this was happening. So fuel was constantly dripping into cylinders 1 (especially) and 2. This is why the Crossflow was running so badly and the spark plugs were filthy.
