Does this look like a good Weber to rebuild?


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty much at my wits end with my hitachi. For four years it was fine, then poof, there goes my idle. I've been trying to get it sorted out (see thread here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/146194-please-help-idle-issues/ ) but I'm not having any luck.

It's just giving me a reason to get a weber, but I'm not made of money, not even partially, so I'm looking for a weber on a strict budget.

That being said, I've found this one on ebay so far

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Weber-32-36-DGAV-33B1-Carburetor-Volkswagen-/161287908035?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item258d822ac3&vxp=mtr

I'd be in about $70 assuming nobody bids on it, then additional for the rebuild kit, then additional for the adapter plate. I'm thinking it'll total out around $140 or so.

Going to keep hunting. When I find any others that seem to me like a deal i'll post them up here for the board's approval =P

 

Edit: Does anybody have a part number for JUST the adapter plate, if I were to get it seperately? Thanksmuch

I would request a pic looking down in from the top so you can see the bore, jets, etc. & how funky it is...probably a good deal if it's not banged/scraped up -hopefully it's cleaner on the inside!

Then there's this guy, ending soon.

I figure the broken nipple on the choke housing is easily fixed.

 

Water choke mechanism, just tap in to one of the bypass lines on the intake manifold and good to go, correct?

Scratch that. Bit the bullet, ordered a new carb from amazon.

can't wait!

Does anybody know if this kit looks like it comes with the appropriate adapter plate? I'm thinking so but I'm not too concerned because I think I'm going to get the one piece trans-dapt adapter jes-zek used on his installation.

Somehow, I prefer a Brand New Carb, over an Used one which has Unknown History and could have been Mistreated.

 

... I'm going to get the one piece trans-dapt adapter jes-zek used on his installation.

 

That is Very Good Idea

 

But Remember: If you use the Trans-Dapt Adaptor I used, you must change the Air Filter to the Shorter model, because the Taller one will hit the hood, as I described on My Writeup; unless your Subie has a Lift and you Dropped the Crossmember at least 1.5"

 

Good Luck!

Kind Regards.
