The float pin should be inserted from the non split end, it can be pushed by hand all the way through to the split end and only requires 2 taps with a small hammer to get it fully home, instead of hammering it all the way through from the split end, it’s only the split end that has any compression on the pin to hold it in place
This was a fantastic video! I purchased three of these from ebay, and am rebuilding them for my 1971 Datsun 240Z, after watching this I feel very confident! THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU
Great video, thanks. Im doing same set-up on a 245 Hemi but with 40 DCOE's . Problem is two are DCOE 31 and one Im in process of buying is a DCOE 18 . Do I have a problem that can't be rectified ? Again, many thanks.
hello i restored 2 4040 like you but now i havent got idle sleed , the engine is over 2000 rpm and the carburetor is in cero , i dont know what happend .can you help me ?
"...take a small hammer aaaand just gently pound the shit out of the pin." Just kidding, thanks for the videos! I just bought a pair of used 45mm 152 DCOEs that need some love. ALL of the venturis on them are more or less distorted, because of ovetightening, original screws have been replaced with miscellaneous bits, the other one has it's frame cracked just between the air cleaner mating surface and the venturi etc. I sometimes wonder what kind of cavemen handle these things..

Yes please can we get the op to bump this?
was thinking how much easier it is to go the other way while watching him do that lol
Super. I have (2) 40 DCOEs coming on a Volvo B20 engine. These videos have relieved my anxiety about Weber carbs. Thank you!

He Makes this look soo easy....
Grrrrr
I just got DCOE45 for my 73 240z!!! hope it's running well!
Incredibly good video, well explained, super dexterity assembling these units. WHAT A PRO!
Those three are a stout compliment to a six cylinder engine. Nice work.
Your videos are of great help. They convinced me to buy my first Weber. A 48 DCO SP. How about a set of videos on tuning/calibration?

Im scared to pull the pin holding up the float assembly
I would appreciate a dis-assembly guide with a typical dcoe showing how the various caps / pins can be remove without destroying them.
if you see how they go in it should be pretty obvious how to take them out. everything is either held by threads or friction.
I think that should read "threads and sticktion."
Excellent video!!! Thanks!!!
