Webber carb question

<< < (4/6) > >>

Saffy:
petrols do not have a "cut out bar", my guess its either remains of a previous heavy oil engine setup or someone has added DIY hand throttle.

Rich_P:
Intersting, you have both of the choke cables still fitted, or at least the handle pieces.  :-o  The one on the bulkhead, below the dash, that is where the choke sometimes ended up when someone fitted a Weber.  The one on the steering column is the standard location.

baron von ledwidge:
ah ok thats cool the one on the steering collumn would be where the cut out is ont he diesel, that bar is stuck and i think the one below is for the webber carb, i just wasn't sure if the engien ahd a cut out but evidently not, thansk for your help ill keep playing i think next step is add a bit of fuel in the top of the carb and see if its all workign otherwise

baron von ledwidge:
OK ive checked the sparks etc there all good, and i put some fuel into the carb and it does fire up, could the fuel be locked on its way in, the fuel in the tank doesnt smell off but ill try and pop some of it in the carb to test, is it qorth tryign to service the carb or should i just get another one?

lightweight-love:
If you by hand push down the throttle linkage on the carb with the air filter off you should see the jets squirt a mist of fuel vapour, if nothing then easiest way is to disconnect fuel pipe going into weber and try start engine if fuel squirts out petrol pump is ok(btw empty petrol pump sediment bowl if not already). if jets not squirting but fuel going in then id suggest u check weber has all lil linkage bars n things n nothing missing, service kit costs about a tenner from dingocroft, includes lil internal filters, pump seals, major seals etc and when u strip it all can check float level is working-some break and sink this stops carb from working.
Hope this helps!
