Hi, I have searched (the internet), but failed to come across a dealer of Weber carb specialty tools used for tasks such as removing venturis, removing and installing lead plugs, etc..... Does anyone know where I can find these tools? Thank You, Anthony
Don't know if they have 'em, but another good source (here in CA) for any carb car owner: www.piercemanifolds.com Best of luck!
Hmmm...still can not find these tools (Pierce only had jet reamers)......I am beginning to wonder if they are no longer manufactured.....still looking...... Thanks, Anthony
http://www.redlineweber.com/ http://www.carburetion.com/ Try these guys. Email them ,they have a lot of stuff not listed on the website.
Anthony, have you actually seen pictures/diagrams or reference to these tools? Often times, when I need something special (as is yet another one-purpose tool) I check the manuals for a visual clue and then make it myself (beit milling, turning, welding or any combination of the three). The Webers I've worked on (down & side draft) I never had any trouble removing the venturis. The lead plugs can be drilled out (by hand, with a pinvise) easily enough and setting the lead plugs can be done with an appropriate sized punch with a concave tip (ball endmill will acomplish that dressing). NAPA Autoparts sell a carb cleaning kit (bucket of really nasty stuff with a dipping basket) and I find even the most stubborn varnish dissolves in it. Buy a dozen cans of cheap aerosol carb cleaner to flush them out after dipping (wear your safety glasses and gloves). Once restored to like-new condition, you can embark on the joys of tuning them Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks, Randy.....yes I have seen pics of the tools.....I just thought they may be convenient to utilize.....I am rebuilding a 40 DCNF just for the experience....wonderful devices, they are! Nice job with yours, looks beautiful...... Where does one obtain the lead plugs? Thanks Again, Anthony
So far, I haven't needed to drill/replace any of the lead plugs (I'd try the HD Carb soaking/cleaning solution first). But, I'd expect an internet search could turn up some usable sizes. For the sake of trouble free sealing, I'd employ a small drop of Loctite with each ball before staking. If you can turn up any images of those tools, I'd like to see them. You never know, I might be able to turn us out a few; I have quite a collection of on the spot tools already...

these links for Weber tools may help as well - http://www.huskyclub.com/tav16.html http://www.playerviolin.com/misc/weber/Untitled-3.jpg http://www.playerviolin.com/misc/weber/Untitled-4.jpg i worried about having these tools at one time, to perform absolute top notch rebuilding. I found they are not needed at all, but certainly would make a nice collection of logo tools. Craig
Hi, ...what is the best tool (not Weber tool) out there to peen the ends of the throttle shaft screws once in place? Thank You, Anthony
I have not needed this tool yet, but my plan would be to grind an arrow tip on a piece of drill rod. i am not sure if it would need heat treat hardening or could be used as ground. i hope other will speak up. i had wondered about Loctite products, maybe PMO could answer this question. maybe it hhas been answered? Craig
lead shot from a gun shop is what i was advised thru a carb rebuilder. possible there are various sizes of lead shot, anyone have details on this? the tool for setting these plugs apears to be a punch with a ball depression at the plug setting end, most likely to keep the ball shaped lead shot in position when punching. it seems more of my drilled passages are plugged with brass inserts than lead plugs. any advise on these removing and reinstall? Craig
#2 through #10. Don't know what mm size they are, but a trip to any good sporting goods or gun store will get you some choices. Only problem that I can recall is it comes in 25lb bags. Might be better to make buddies with some of your Fchat hunting friends who reload their own. DM
