Hi guys - hope everyone’s had a good weekend so far.
I am about to rebuilt a set of Weber’s which will be a first for me. I’ve rebuild quite a few carb on the British cars I cut my teeth on, so am at least familiar with carbs in general. With the British cars all you need to do is see if can wiggle the throttle shaft to see if you have any play, if you do they need to be addressed. Is there a similar test on the Weber’s I should be checking - I assume so. False air is no fun. Thanks! |

I don't know how to bench test, but on a running car you can spray carb cleaner and if it runs worse you've got leakage. You can also glob bearing grease on the suspect leak, and if it runs richer, you also have leakage.
