In this instalment I get round to restoring the Webers for my 1750 GTV. The aluminium was cleaned with glass bead blasting. I installed new bearings and a new service kit.

If the engineers at Webber would have worked a little harder and put a bit more thought into their design of this carburetor, they probably could crammed 50 or 60 more parts in to it...

I love watching your tutorials and you are one of the most enjoyed people out there to watch and talk about these cars that were a big part of most of our youth and now our later years, but in a video so complex as this one there is no talking us through the miriad of minefields we need to navigate through to un -assemble and re-assembling these carbs.

That’s something that I forgot to mention! The screws were originally peened in place, so they’re really hard to get out. You can grind back the rear side and then they come out pretty easy. And when you reinstall them you can use red loctite instead of peening.

Always a pleasure to watch Jethro do his restorations . I pulled my DCOE Webers apart on my 1750 Berlina many years ago. Very fiddly and time consuming,but when done right as you have done, they run like a Swiss watch. Great work as usual Jethro.

I know you must have a lot of work and things your life entails but if I could have it my way you'd be doing this full time and would be the Alfa man of the web. Or even combine your gifts and abilities, experience etc with some other Alfa masters and maybe even Fiats of the old days etc and create a European Race spec version of 1320 video. Where they all have their own channels but under one bigger conglomerate so that they have the independence yet the advantages of each other and the money from the whole and advertisers etc to do what they want or need to get to do their dreams. Anyway just wishing we could have more of you and your videos! Thank you for the hard work and great content!

Brilliant job Jethro. I rebuilt a lot of these and Dellorto side draughts in my younger years. Great to see you took the time to do it properly and make them look cosmetically new as well. ' Only thing I will note is that the screws holding the butterfly's should be staked after fitting or loctited with low strength loctite as they have been known to work loose and get sucked in to the engine. Not trying to be a YT smartass though, thoroughly enjoyed the vid, brings backs lots of memories :-).
