Overhauling a weber

[davevh]

Right I need to overhaul the Weber. I have bought the Haynes Techbook from Amazon (it was cheaper than Ebay) thinking that this should cover the 32/34 DMTL. It appears that it does not. There is listed just about every other combination of letters. I thought this was a fairly popular carb. Is there another similar type of carb that I could look at for guidance?

Is there a better book out there? I have tried google and cannot seem to find a manual that covers the overhaul of this carb.

Thanks

Dunno if this helps? -= Link =-

It's for a 1.6 engine, but the principles are the same (the jets, tubes n wotnot are actually identified on the last page for a 1.8)

the "haynes maunal on carburettors" (NO. 4177) covers the DMTL. .. Infuriating buying a complete haynes just for 5 pages though, but still... I found nobody near me actually stocked the rebuild kit, they all needed a few days to get one in for me. Make sure you change the needle valve, not just the gaskets!

[davevh]

Thanks for that. Partly my own fault for not researching more. Haynes do a Techbook called Weber Carburetor Manual. There is no mention of DMTL in this book. Funny enough they use the exact same photograph on the cover as the Haynes Carburetor Manual. You would have thought that a book called the Weber Carburetor Manual would have covered all the models.

Where abouts are you Dave?

I've overhauled three DMTL's in the past fortnight, can do them in my sleep now!

Should perhaps sit down and write a "how to" sheet for it?

....I've got a funny feeling that i might need a look at that in a week or two!
Just started stripping mine down last night after discovered a hissing sound coming from the back of the unit when i rocked it forward. there seemed to be rather a lot of movement of the unit...is this normal? ... could rock it about 10/15mil? The car was running very rich and the idle was all over the place. i tried to tune it but to no benefit and this was when i found the hissing. have got to get he gasket set for the rebuild - do i need anything else for fitting the gaskets? ... i am keen but not that gifted when it comes to mechanics.

Cheers,

TBH if there was hissing AND you're running rich that's gonan upset the idle as it is.

WebCon do the gaskets that you need :)

i would check your casket that bolts to the manifold, the carb sits on that, bet that would off spilt

[Marocco]

Cheers guys. as usual i have made the job harder for myself by stripping the whole unit down so need the full gasket set now ...didnt think i could get to the bolts holding the unit onto the manifold...bet i was wrong tho wish me luck.

They are really tight as is, and yes, a pain. A ratchet spanner is the best bet tbf, but it needs to be a slim one.
