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. Instagram: @jethrojamesbronner

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.

I'm pretty sure that even if I closely watched this while attempting the same, there would be at least a dozen parts left over - "I guess all these are just extras... She'll be 'right..." (engine bay erupts in flames...no idea why...)

Your videos are amazing. Just rebuilt a Weber 40DCOE using your video. I did have a hard time removing the throttle shaft screws and ended up stripping them and having to drill them out. Live and learn. Thank you.
@JethroBronner4 жыл бұрын
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.
@titanus495 жыл бұрын
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!

@@JethroBronner The monetization thing is a bit strange. I know they've changed the rules some in the last while.
