Michael Downing Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Like the title says, really. A contact of mine has a 1970s 7-type that has sat unused for some time and he wants to get it going again. He needs someone skilled who can rebuild/recondition the Weber carbs that are fitted to it. Any suggestions? He is in the South Bucks (i.e. Penn Sevens!) area.

Nigel Riches Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I've used Gower & Lee (www.gowerlee.dircon.co.uk/) for Weber spare parts and Southern Carburettors (www.sciperformance.co.uk) for parts for an S.U. carb I had a long time ago. But just because the carbs have sat for a while doesn't mean they will need refurbing, unless they are a real barn find type, full of chook crap and such like. If the carbs are that far gone there will be more to do to get the thing running again. Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Downing Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks Nigel, I'll pass that on. I think he's aware that there is quite a lot of work to do, it's just that the carbs are the one bit he's not confident with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I rebuilt my own carbs which worked really well. I think OBNS on here rebuilds carbs for people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed White Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I've rebuilt a couple of sets over the years. I have a haynes, or similar workshop manual just covering weber carbs. An ebay search should find you one. Quite a satisfying table top job. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
