Overhaul of WEBER #3 (The original blog was written on 2nd Sep. 2007)





Finally I have started the disassembly of the WEBER.  I was a bit nervous in front of the removed WEBER, some goods for the overhaul (I got them at 100Yen store and DIY hardware store) and my treasury genuine workshop manual.  At first I started to disassemble the WEBER for #3 and #4 cylinders, which seemed to be bad condition because of the sticking acceleration pump.


According to the instruction in the workshop manual, I removed the top cover, idling jets, main jets, inlet valves and acceleration pump retainer valve.  


So far there was no problem.  However, the acceleration pump jet was sticking.  I couldn’t remove it… I decided to do it later.  I removed the choke jets, inspection screws, idling mixture screws and choke systems.  Finally I came to the sticking acceleration pump.  I removed the spring plate and pulled the pump….…but the sticking pump didn’t move!!!


I gave up today.  Next time I would like to try a chemical solvent that saw several articles on the web.  If somebody knows other good solution, please let me know.

The numbers of the removed jets were as follows.  (   ) is the numbers of the WEBER 40 DCOE 4 in the service manual.
- Idling Jet: 50 F8　（50）
- Main Jet: 135 F9　（127）
- Choke Jet: 65 F5　（65）
- Accel. pump Jet: Unknown　（35）

By the way, my WEBER was so dirty that I was very embarrassed!  I thought I should wash them in kerosene.

If someone knows a good way, please let me know.

Tip to repair rubber parts

I disassembled the rear axle before.  There had been no progress on it because I started the repair of the fuel tank during my summer holiday. While painting the fuel tank , I repaired the torn rubber boot of the parking brake wire. I guessed it didn ’ t cost high because it was small rubber part.  But I wanted to try the repair method I read on the magazine article before. This was the condition before the repair.  The rubber was torn apart and separated almost. I used this self-adhesive type butyl tape.  I pasted lots of small pieces of the butyl tape on the back side of the rubber boot.  As time goes by , these tapes would melt and stick together.  After this I applied plenty of adhesive “ Super X Black ” on the rubber boot.  On the magazine of MOTO MAINTENANCE , I read the article that the motorcycle seat was repaired with this method.  So , I wanted to try it. After drying 1 day , it became like this....

Fuel tank repair: Day 1 --- new mission started!  

I ’ ve started the new mission that the repair of rust fuel tank. The replacement of the rear bearing at the rear axle was still on the way , however , during summer holiday I could secure a longer time , and the hot climate would be good for the chemical reaction of the rust remover and drying the inside of the tank.  Therefore , I wanted to repair the fuel tank in summer holiday. The target of the 1st day was to remove the fuel tank from a car and to put the cleaner “ MARINE CLEAN ” into the tank. At first , as a preparation for the tank removal , I removed the equipment in the trunk room , such as the electric fuel pump , battery , which may interfere with the work. Next I removed the fuel sending unit and extracted the gasoline inside the tank with hand pump.  Considerable amount of rusty objects came out together with the gasoline. After extracting the gasoline I started to remove the fuel tank. Firstly I removed the screws at t...

Brake master cylinder overhaul #4

I disassembled the brake master cylinder again I repaired on the other day because the behavior of the piston seemed to be not smooth enough.  When I removed the piston at the last time , I checked the condition of the rubber and it looked good.  Therefore , I reassembled it without replacing the rubber. However , again I disassembled the brake master cylinder ’ s piston and checked its condition carefully in order to reassure myself. I disassembled and cleaned the piston and the spring. The condition of the original rubber was not bad , but I replaced it once with the rubber part of the repair kit. Again , however , I felt that the quality of the rubber parts of the repair kit ( left one ) seemed to be poor…. I also assembled the piston into the cylinder as a trial , however , the tight contacting feeling was not enough. As my conclusion , I judged the condition of the original rubber parts were good enough and decided ...
