Carb rebuild help, looking for carb rebuild kit Options

[mobymutt]

I guess before I buy a rebuild kit, I need to know what carbs I have. Can anybody positively identify these, or let me know how I go about identifying them?



I have been assuming they are Weber 40's. If that is the case, will this kit work?

Would I need anything else on top of what is supplied in the kit?

Just DO NOT buy from webercarbsdirect. They are selling chinese knock-offs NOT real webers.
When I rebuilt my carbs I used an ultra-sonic parts cleaner from Harbor Freight and cleaned every piece including the carb bodies.
You have to flip them a few times (they wont fully submerge, tank not deep enough) but it worked.

I even used denatured alcohol in the parts cleaner for the bodies, but I did that outdoors due to the fire risk.

The #1 biggest thing to know before diving into a rebuild is that the butterfly plate screws SHOULD be very hard to remove. If you dont back-up the shafts while pushing hard enough to extract the screws you WILL bend the shafts. They are expensive and require additional tooling and drilling to replace, so dont mess them up. And if you DONT bend them, you will save the cash that you need to replace the bearings which SHOULD be done if the carbs are very old.
