Weber Idle Jet Holder Modification

Very nice, Bruce! I can see where this helps.

I love the paper arrow.

I wish I knew how to put those arrows in on my computer ! it would be more simple I think.

       
       
That was classic!

Man- it's no wonder you Weber guys complain. What an awful place to put the idle jets!

Yeah but, we don't have to remove the air cleaners clean the jets now, do we?

Yeah but, we don't have to remove the air cleaners to clean the jets now, do we? And he's using CB space saver manifolds, which turn the carbs around.

So in a Speedster, you either can't see them, OR you can't get to them.

The 911 shroud gives completely open access to the carbs, BTW.

 

Cool mod, but wouldn't you be better off just soldering a short allen key into one of the hex holders? I find I don't want to use more torque putting them in than I can apply with my fingers and the allen key.

 

If you really want to mod the holders, you then wouldn't need any tools at all to pull the jets.

 

But you need to consider the other advantages of just using the hex holders the way they are, or even using the stock holders with a shorty screwdriver.

 

Ten minutes of the 'blind mechanic, crouching' position (two and a half minutes per jet) thoroughly clears my mind and replenishes my chi. It prepares me for deep insight into the Weber world. Few things in the Speedster are more calming. 

 

 

"Blind Mechanic Crouching" stance is very advanced kung fu.

I think you guys are really Great ! Thank You !

Stan...You must be using Fuel injection or Delortos ! There's no problem like this with them!

Danny P.....Thanks ! and No, I can now remove the idle jets without removing the air cleaners. Also, i had to chuckle a little about your statement (because it's true) "Either you can see em' or you can't get to em"... I like to think that my solution resolves this quite a bit....

Sacto Mitch....I hadn't really thought through your suggestion to just silver solder a whole Allen wrench into the jet holder. This would save about $ 40.00 dollars and make the operation "tool-less"....GOOD Idea !! However, if you have "Space Saver' Manifolds, like I do, it wouldn't work because of clearance problems with the fan shroud.

How about "Crouching Mechanic".. N .. Hidden Jet ?...........Bruce

Dellortos: All. The. Way.
