xoomer Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Ok, so I thought I would Photo shoot my weber rebuild... Maybe to help others, maybe to Have GD tell me what I'm doing wrong.. J/K GD.. The jets are 60 and 70. before the bath the Secondary wouldn't open.. So I got one of the Buckets of Parts Cleaner from work and soaked it in that over night... and then soapy water with a brush, then Brake cleaned it... now The secondary opens... and everything looks smooth... $50 for the Weber. I have Redline Part # 92.3237-05 Rebuild Kit 41030-020 Nitrofill float 57804.097 Power Valve 99217.332S Air Cleaner. After tax $84.15 $16 dollars for the Cleaners. What I started with.. After The Bath... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Looks good - should work fine I would think. Primary/Secondary jets should be 140/140. Primary/Secondray air-bleeds should be 170/160. For an EA81 I like a 50 or 55 idle jet. EA82's like a 60. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoomer Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) The air bleeds are the ones on top? they say 170 and 160 on them... and the jets are 140 140... Edited February 21, 2010 by xoomer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcap Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Great timing! I'll be undertaking the same project soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - under the air bleeds you will find the Emulsion Tubes - those should be F50's in almost all cases - good to remove them for cleaning though so I always double check. I have found a few oddball e-tubes before. Bend a 3/32" hook in the end of a paper clip wire - use that to pull the e-tubes from the base - you reach down inside and grab them through one of their air holes and pull them out. Sometimes they can get pretty stuck so soaking like you did helps. There's not much to the Weber's - anyone can rebuild one and jet it properly if they have the recipe for their engine. The trick is tuning and setup on them. Getting them to idle correctly with smooth progression and no deiseling on shutdown. It's a balancing act of idle speed, idle mixture, timing, etc. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykeys Toy Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 bookmarked.. I may need to attempt this. Reason 1 Hard start. 2 dieseling especially after having been driven long distances or just flat out driven hard. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
