    Hi guys, just a quick note to avoid you the same bad experience I just had with my webers. I sent them for a thorough restoration to Lanzoni in Verona (Italy).
    He charged me a lot of money and he used second hand pieces and some pieces suitable for a fiat 500! The result has been terrible and the car ( maserati 4700)ran just awful.
    Beware!

    Regarding parts and expertise for Webers - I have only very positive things to say about
    Pierce Manifolds, https://www.piercemanifolds.com/.

    A lot of "old" knowledge.

    Sad to hear....maybe have them reworked at Pierce???

    Your carbs have to be right.

    Or, find an aftermaket for EFI??

    It s getting harder and harder to find people who know their job, in my case moreover the guy fitted also
    improper parts.
    Thanks for the advice

    I second Mike at Pierce. Very knowledgable and good to deal with. I put 44 DCNFs on my P6 cam-ed 308 about ten years ago and Mike patiently listened and helped me through the jetting process to optimize the performance. They will completely rebuild Webers.

    I M in touch with a retired Maserati engineer who rebuilds carburettors. In case he can t handle I ll get in touch with Pierce. They have to be perfect!

    manuel trovati un vecchio carburatorista, possibilmente un amico , o qualcuno di fiducia. Qualcuno che non associ avere il maserati con pollo da spennare. Sono carburatori relativamente semplici.
    Se devi buttare l anima e il sangue cosi' passa ad un Efi
    Mi spiace leggere sempre le stesse cose dell italia
    ciao

    Quest e' un vecchietto, che fa solo carburatori in casa... Dopo l esperienza con Lanzoni che mi ha messo pezzi usati e per giunta di altri modelli non vado più da questi cialtroni.
    Sto tizio un tempo M aveva fatto i SU della Rolls e andava da dio per cui riprovo
    Ciao

    A few years ago I had my carbs done by an old man in Turin (Torino). I visited the place myself. The place was cluttered with carbs, gaskets, manifold and tools all over the place.
    He did a tremendous job. I brought them in, he sent them back.

    He prefers money in the hand. ;)
