Posted September 21, 201212 yr comment_402201 Hi guys, I got a set of webers of a parts car, and these need quite a bit of attention. I bought 3 rebuild kits from Pierce Manifolds. I looked through the kit to figure out where each component goes, but these two washer type gaskets got me a little confused. I took a picture and attached it. The only place I could think of was at the ends of the butterfly shaft to create a seal, but that's just a guess. Input is appreciated.

September 21, 201212 yr comment_402205 Hmmmm not sure now. I thought it was for early DCOE's throttle shafts but I can't find it in a diagram, Looks a bit like the seal on my Coleman Stove.

September 21, 201212 yr comment_402218 The kits have been 'generalized' so not all parts will be used. Pierce will confirm that for you if you give them a call...

September 21, 201212 yr Author comment_402246 Ok, thanks. I will attempt the "boiling lemon juice" cleaning technique this evening after work, just hoping for the best.

September 24, 201212 yr Author comment_402505 Rebuild the carbs this weekend, the lemon juice works great on corrosion, but not so much on dirt, still ended up using carb cleaner and engine degreaser to remove the grime. Overall I am very happy with the results thou. The "choke" cold start assemblies were frozen up on two of these carburators, one of the brass gears is also badly bent and one completely broken off... does anyone have replacement parts for these? I can't find a US based supplier that offers these.
