- 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.

This is a car guys version of those videos where kids squish jelly or mix paint... incredibly satisfying to watch.
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...
LOL I don't know. I think that was already all of the parts--in the world.
Your videos are so well made, they are a pleasure to watch.
John Capidecallu Thanks for watching!
one of the best carb rebuilds ever , easy to follow
That was impressive to watch. Hope the rest of the 30 day Alfa build you started months ago is coming along! You are a maestro in the workshop!
You Sir, are a true artist, a jeweler.
More like a Jew
A true artisan....thank you, Jethro, for providing a medium for those of us that have fancied attempting something of this magnitude, but without your tutelage would never have the courage to attempt!
Not too sure I would have trusted myself with all that abrasion around with such tightly-fitting precision parts, well done.
Another really great video, a lot of work there with the lighting, the focus, the editing, and the subtle sounds of the Webers coming apart and being reassembled. Webers are virtually a piece of artwork in themselves and you showcased them beautifully.
I know that EFI gives you a lot of benefits but man theres something soo beautiful about the complex and mechanical of a carburetor
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.
Amazing to see the engineering and workmanship that goes into these components, clearly a labour of love the way you work on them, and now all replaced by the fuel injector!
Yeah but there's nothing that can really replace the sound of a Weber DCOE!
Terrific video. I love the peace and quiet. Zen and the Art of Weber Maintenance.... 🙃
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...)
Ciao Jethro I love seeing old technologies as a Web carb stripped down and rebuilt with such love for details. Keep shooting videos like this one please! A presto!
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.
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.
Captivating and inspiring... Makes me want to dive in on an affordable Alfa rather than a restored, expensive one with hidden surprises. Love this video style-- Don't change a thing!
Alfa Sognatore Hey thanks! I’m going to do more videos in this style, it seems to work well for component videos.
So satisfying to watch this. "Silent wrenching" is a great idea, too ;)
Martin Smarda I’m trying to take a different approach to the usual TH-cam style. Keeping things simple and quiet.
In my youth, when I dropped a Lotus twin-cam into my Ford Anglia, I’m really glad that I resisted the urge to strip the DCOE40’s at the same time!
So satisfying watching this. Even though i don't know anything about doing this, i love watching videos about people rebuilding motors and so on
You have the skills of a master well beyond your years. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say
Beautiful video, precise work. Thank you for sharing ! Oh, thank you also for not adding dumb music !! So relaxing !
lost for words excellent
Wow, pure ASMR right there. Beautiful film.
I'm astonished about your level of attention to detail and what it took you to show us this process, thank you so much!
terrifying. like watching a watch being built
What a nightmare inside those Webers. I've done lots of automobile carburetors but I've never seen so many little parts in my life. Fantastic work.
Jethro, there is the manic of experience in your hands!
Brilliant job and brilliant video! A friend of mine from the States recommended your videos and I am really impressed. Thank you for all your efforts to share your expertise and workmanship.
Bruce Boschek Thanks Bruce that’s very kind of you. I’m still learning as I go along with these builds, but happy to share what I learn!
I think that we can call you Maestro, that in my country it means that you are at the best level!!!! Complimenti from Puglia Italy
This reminds me of that part in Toy Story 2 where that old guy fixes up Woody. Love it.
Absolutely brilliant Jethro 👍🏻
Brilliant one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam
Standing ovation!
We need expert engineer like you!
Pleasure to watch
been waiting for quite a while for updates (:
Edit: so peaceful listening to the rain in the background
you are the man nice editing nice video and nice touch!
Beautiful work!
Amazing, unbelivable work! You are a master!
Great work. I have a set of Weber Dual throat down draft carburettors, I think 40 IDF, off a Fiat BC coupe, which I had overhauled. Beautiful pieces of equipment. Made in Italy.
That was awesome to watch. I was mesmerised the whole time. That is a crazy amount of tiny little parts to keep track of. Great work.
Home Built By Jeff I guess that's why he recorded it so he could rewatch to remember how to reassemble them 😄
Thanks Jeff. Yeah these fiddly bits of building cars are actually the bits I really like. I know these DCOEs backwards now.
I do the same thing. I have lost count of how many times I have gone back to watch my old videos to see how I took something apart ;)
dude great stuff keep it comming!
mind heist Thanks man!
Great stuff that man! Another plus is that you actually put something back together! Congratulations!!!!
Jonathan Nicholson Yeah it’s a whole new direction for the channel! And I think it’s a good direction.
Jethro Bronner keep it up buddy!
Fantastic to watch. I always wondered what was inside a Weber Carburetor, now I know why they are so sophisticated.
A pleasure to watch, beautiful work.
swisstonyyou Thanks! 👍
I heartily second all the positive comments below, from your obvious attention to detail and quality to the video editing, this was pure pleasure to watch.
My question for this video: why wear gloves when handling such clean and finicky parts?
Αs always amazing my friend !!!
This video is as good as it gets, Bravo!
Nice job! 👍
Geez that's a lot of parts I thought I was a bad ass when I rebuilt Rochester but you are a real man for taking on that mess
Haha, they're not so complicated once you really get into them.
I love your videos. Sadly I just found them. You definetly know what you are doing, and I love your attention to details.
Awesome job on the cleaning!
Really like that asmr and aesthetic style, it's so nice and relaxing to watch. ;)
JeremiBulakowski That was something that I was going for with this. I think it’s nice to hear the sounds that the tools make when you work.
Better than new...nice job Jethro!
Well done hand craft!
All of your videos should be more like this. 💯💯Just my opinion. Love your channel. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very interesting I enjoyed it very much thanks for the video
Beautiful stuff indeed
Damn, I am impressed that you can work with all those tiny parts with gloves on! Well done, superb work! And thanks from the USA!
Thanks! I've gotten pretty used to working in gloves, so even these tiny parts are manageable now.
@@JethroBronner Your confidence is inspiring.. .
Nice job
Very talented work - possibly therapeutic post Alfa rust chasing :)
Nice job my friend!!! 💪💪
You know no fear Jethro.
Wonderful video
Very nice job. I'm impressed you can manage to manipulate the small parts with those gloves.
I'm impressed 👍
educational and artistic. F'n awesome, man!
Gio Vardaro Thanks for watching man 👍
Very meticulous work, never rebuilt a carby and it looks fiddly as heck! Another great video :)
ArmySigs Thanks! And are you Australian by any chance? Home Built By Jeff has taught me that Carby is the Aussie name for Carburetors.
OUTSTANDING
Jethro you do some of the best car, garage, video shooting and editing work on youtube IMHO. Seriously it's almost too good. LOL. 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!
Greg Wayne Hey thanks so much man. I’m working towards being able to put more time into TH-cam and content creation, I just need to figure out how to monetize it properly. If I had it my way I’d be in this full time tooZ
@@JethroBronner The monetization thing is a bit strange. I know they've changed the rules some in the last while. I tried a few years ago and they actually started counting and keeping a tally on one of my videos and channels. But it was such few views it didn't add up to any actual cash. (I think I had only around 850 views). I hope you get it going and can make it take off. Your work is amazing!
well done - scared about glas bead blasting remains I prefer ultrawave cleaning and blow out all channels with compressed air afterwards, cheers
amazing job!i have a 1972 alfa gt 1300 junior! regards from italy!
Awesome 👍
Amazing video! Thank you!
I keep watching this again and again. It's like open heart surgery!
Reminds me of that Rick & Morty skit: 'how to make a Plumbus'. Feels like I'm watching an alien being disseminated.
Just like a fine watch.
Would love to see the install on the car of these and then the tuning, great video!
You are a Hero.... no leftovers? .... Incredible
Bely Bob thankfully no leftover parts!
i absolutely subscribe to your channel, i "just" have an Alfa Romeo 75 and a Lancia Thema, but your video are crazy awesome. Greetings from an Italian living in China!
My goodness, I've rebuilt more than my fair share of carburetors. But never anything like these Webers. I'm a bit intimidated now to even begin working on mine.
They’re quite simple if you think of them circuit by circuit. It’s a little overwhelming to look at all the parts at once
Lost me after the 87th screw. Haha. Nice video. Put some stacks on the cones instead of the box.
I’m watching the first few minutes, seeing you disassemble those cabs and all I can think is you must live in a very dry place! I mean those carbs look old and neglected but all the old carburetors I’ve ever opened here (the American South) invariably look a thousand times worse! Great editing and filming!
Beautifully restored!
Robert Rishel yeah this car was in a shed in a very dry part of South Africa. So the car and a lot of the parts are in pretty decent shape for 35 years of sitting.
Jethro Bronner your video quality is remarkable! Yet you still retain all the qualitiesI love about TH-cam: that it’s the true perspective of an individual, not corporate crap, ultimately meant to sell us something.
Thanks Jethro
EXCELLENT!
Impressive! I don't know if you're a mechanical genius but you're certainly quite skilled and talented.
Great video mate! I love your style! I would not be able to keep track of all of those pieces in my current workshop haha
Driver's Side yeah I’ve had to become pretty disciplined with keeping things in order for these type of builds.
Jethro Bronner I’m thinking soon I’ll either redo my garage or get a new one if I move
Nice!
Ive ran worst off carbs than that and your rebuilding them. Its funny to me in a way
This is high art
Hypnotic.
Oh man I just watched this 2 times through after watching 2 others. You’ve turned working on this car into an art that’s very cathartic to watch. Do you answer questions people have about Alfa repairs or your videos anywhere?
Caitlin Tollis Thanks man. I tend to just answer questions here in the comments section.
Accelerator pumps! Luvly!
ETA >> not often the words "as good as new" are so apposite.
excellent!
Brilliant job Jethro. I rebuilt a lot of these and Dellorto side draughts in my younger years. Great to see you took the time to do it properly and make them look cosmetically new as well.
'
Only thing I will note is that the screws holding the butterfly's should be staked after fitting or loctited with low strength loctite as they have been known to work loose and get sucked in to the engine. Not trying to be a YT smartass though, thoroughly enjoyed the vid, brings backs lots of memories :-).
Sasha the Slasher thanks man. I did loctite the screws in place. But obviously i can’t show every step or else this video would be been an hour long.
Don’t worry about pointing stuff out in my videos. I’m always keen for constructive feedback 👍
@@JethroBronner Excellent happy to hear you did actually Loctite them. I suspected you might have left that out. Great work.
As an aside, I restored a 105 GTV2000 to showroom condition sometime ago. Only took 10 years! I did lose interest in it for several years though. Your vids are bringing back memories of that restoration as well :-).
OMG! I saw all those parts and thought "OK, I've disassembled it, now what?" XD
good job :)
Nice, VERY nice !!!!!!
I'll bring my kkk and dell' orto's over for you to do 😃 !!!! Lol.
Heck of a job! I would be so lost. I might be able to get it apart but it would end there. I was thinking about getting a 1750 alpha but now I'm not so sure.
На это можно смотреть вечно)
Very nicely done. Many thanks for the vid. Always enjoyable to watch a car resto without the American click bait and bs.
Nigel Kemp haha. Should I have used the title “YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT I DID TO MY CARBURETORS!” Instead? That would have gotten me more clicks.
Jethro Bronner exactly! But also split the vid into multiple parts, each repeating 90% of the last part! Seriously though, great work mate! You’re encouraging me to get back to my ‘76 GT. Please keep the vids coming along as you find the time!!
Sweet
