weber carbs

I recently bought a speedster with a type 2 1600 cc engine with two 1 bbl. weber carbs. The carbs need to be rebuilt and I can't find rebuild kits to do it. The carbs only id marks are the W emblem and the word BRASILIA. The serial # tag has the # and the words Lado Esquerdo on it. Any information on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan

I have a Weber Carb book (64 pages) produced in 1977 by Geon Industries -- Has break down schematics of many modell as well as interchange parts lists, tools and accessories. $8 shipped.

Daniel, there is no type 2 engine per se.
Type 2 refers to the VW van or bus, type 2's were equipped with type 1 & type 4 engines.
Lado Esquerdo means "left side".
Why don't you post some pictures of the carbs.

Here are pictures of the carburater. Can anyone identify it? Dan

Looks like a 34ICT to me...

Jim.

Nice pictures, what kind of camera did you use?

Camera is a SONY-S75 Cybershhot 3.3 Mega Pixel

Those are DFV 228 Weber carburetors. CB Performance used to carry those a long time ago. Parts can be gotten from Brazil but hey, do not worry. I just rebuilt a set and they turned out great. I made my own gaskets (very simple) and chem-dipped the rest of the parts. I reassembled them, and all is good. You should not have any problems. The carburetors are a very basic design and use a piston type accelerator pump. If the piston pump seals are okay and the shafts are still tight, then you are in business! They should work up to 1.8L for a basically "stocker" engine.

I had the same question, look at the following link:

It's not the camera, it's the operator who knew how to light and compose a picture. Compared to most "snaps" I've seen I see a future for you in the image biz. Nice job. Well lighted, nicely framed. Good angle.
Kinda like---is it the car or is it the driver?

Dan,
Did you rebuild the carbs ok?
