Jerry DeMoss Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I just picked up a weber 32/36 from a guy last night.It only cost me $50(couldn't pass it up) and came with a vw bug empi intake and air cleaner...Anyway it was covered in oil and couldn't tell what model it was till I got it home and cleaned it up.It turns out it is a DFAV.Just wanted to see what differences it has from a DGEV ect.Also wondered if anyone has a gasket kit/overhaul kit for one of these? I saw some on ebay but I thought I would ask first.Thanks for reading my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[HTi]Johnson Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think that is a manual choke and the DGEV is an electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 check out www.redlineweber.com They've got some online tech manuals. I can't remember the name of the place, but I just got a rebuild kit for $27 shipping included. If you have a parts place around that specializes in VW bugs, they can probably hook you up, too. I'll look at my receipt when I get home and get you the name of the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 bad news. If it's really a DFAV, the bell crank is on the opposite side from the DGEV, which means more fabbing for your install. The DGEV/DGAV have the bellcrank on the right side (as it sits on the engine) and the DFEV/DFAV is a mirror image. The one with E in it is electric choke and the A is water choke.

Jerry DeMoss Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks for the info.It kinda sucks that they are different.I did however forget to mention that it is converted to electric choke.I will have to check the carb out more.I already have it dis assembled and in the parts cleaning tank.I will have to check with redline.Thanks for the help.

jeffast Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 nice i know nothing about carbs hi jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 If nothing else I will rebuild the carb and sell it to a vw nut who can use it or trade it towards a dgev.Or figure a way to use it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 OK, the place I got my rebuild kit was worldpac worldwide. It was considerably cheaper than Redline's price. I was just searching for it on the web, and it appears it's a subsidiary of redline or vice versa. Anyway, I searched for Weber in google and called two or three places.
