Jim Inglese Weber Carburetion Specializing in Weber Carburetion Systems for American V8 engines...since 1977.
In addition to building brand new carburetion systems, I offer full rebuilding and restoration services on all Weber carburetion systems. One of the problems with speciality vehicles, unfortunately, is that they sometimes sit for long periods of time. If allowed to sit unused for a period of years, the gas left in a carburetor will turn into a varnish. This acts like dried glue, cementing the moving parts, and clogging small orifices. The Weber IDA's and DCOE's use a brass piston for an accelerator pump. This pistion rides inside a close-tolerance bore, just like a piston in a cylinder. Sometimes the pump pistons become "welded" in place from the goop. In addition, the passageways inside the carburetors become clogged, especially the ones with the very tiny holes. And all the balls in the check valves become glued in place, so all the check valves are no longer functional. When this happens, the carburetors are useless until they are completely dismantled, cleaned, and re-assembled with fresh parts where necessary. Then, everything works like new again. Only factory gaskets, rebuild kits, and other replacement parts are used. Most Weber carburetors can be completely restored and made to operate like new again, even after 40 years.
