using the original mechanical fuel pump. fuel vapor seemed to be exiting through the opened choke butterflies. will have to fire it up again and pay closer attention.

To clarify, air/fuel vapor exiting carb through choke plates

So, after cleaning the fuel pump (and teaching my son how to use a tap and die set-one of the brass fittingings broke and we couldn’t extract the remains) we fired her up. Misfiring a bit, but more disconcerting was what appeared to be fuel exiting the carb out the top. Neighbor thinks too much...

I thought this thread had died, but I guess not. Here’s an update. I determined that my carb was indeed a 32/36 DGEV. Got a semi complete kit(no carb filter screen? No vacuum diaphragm). After seeing the excessive residue from evaporated fuel in the bowl and clinging to the filter screen, I...

nightmarish. it consists of a rotting, crushed hose shoved into the valve cover. then is bent over double (in two places), and then is cracked where it would slip onto the aircleaner.

Here’s mine

That’s awesome! I really would have never found mine without the help. I gave a wire going to the choke (electric choke obviously) but my model is dgav not dgev. Does the rebuild kit/gasket set care if carb is electric or manual choke?

I want to rebuild this carb (yeah, I know a lot of you will suggest tossing it in the trash and replacing with a stock “clone”), but don’t know which Weber it is. Can any of you tell from these photos?

I’m really starting to regret mentioning the beer aspect of this undertaking!

Yeah, I guess I could just address the rust areas with, say, Por15, smooth with body filler, and top coat it. Then enjoy! The back doors not functioning will cut down on said enjoyment, but I could work on that. I envisioned, in one of the many versions of this ownership, having it for the long...

If I do this, it won't be green for long. I'd be bringing it back to what I believe is the original dune beige. I really appreciate all the feedback. I have to add that I don't think that I got a bad deal, only that I may have made a hasty decision. I also vacillate between pure bliss and...

My stock 4cylinder (yeah it sucks) CJ is rolling on 30x9.5's and gets me everywhere I need to go. I was planning on a similar, yet obviously cooler Toyota version with 1.5x the cylinders. In a nutshell, I was going to try to maintain oem. Crawler? I'm not that guy, but can see how being that guy...

It does not run. It sat for 11 years. When it was parked it was running. It turns over nicely, even coughs a bit with some starter fluid. Ignition pieces are in dire need of replacement. I can turn the rotor a good 10 degrees. One of the wires doesn't want to stay in the cap. I'm confident I can...

Last one! I think it was born tan?

But wait, there’s more!
