Hey Guys,

Do any of you have experience rebuilding the weber progressive? The throttle plates on the outside of mine where the linkage attaches are all loose and causing fast idling. Do I have to rebuild to fix this? can i just leave the thing on the car and tighten up all the linkages on the side with it in the car? Would there be a benefit to rebuilding this carb?

I realize that dual 40's are the hot ticket, but i dont have a spare ~$800 for doing that right now.

Thanks guys

Hey, Purple, there's a '70 914 on the Craig's list in the DFW area that says it has a 2.0L and dual Weber's, and he's only asking $500.00 for the whole car:

You could buy the car, sell off the parts you don't need for probably more than $500.00, and have a free set of Webers.

I'd go for it myself, but don't have any storage.
