    I am currently restoring a barn find 1979 Fiat Spider 2000. Its all original and minus some minor surface rust, it's nearly mint. I was able to purchase it for $1400 and dragged it down the street to my house. I have grown fascinated with these cars, and it has reignited my passion for carbs. I now understand why the dual idf setup works so well on these! I have purchased an empi single carb, and it will do me for now until I have more income in the future. I still haven't driven it yet, but that will hopefully be this summer. I'll be going through the rest of your content. Im sure it's full of great information

    Hope you will talk about how to find and define the right carb setup for any engine. Meaning 40 vs 44, Venturis 28 vs. 32, jetting, exhaust, cams, lift and so on

    I saw the headine just as I put down a very old Hot od mag where they were testing an engine at Scat performance ,trying different manifolds ,carbs and so on. The weber they used was a IDA and they describe the different jets etc they used to overcome that weber idle to run transition.
    A few years ago I was asked to get an E type jag up and running. (i doubt it had ever actually been started since it was resoted 30 years ago) This thing was a V12 manual with SIX IDF's. A total and complete pig which took weeks to get running properly. I realised later it had the wrong style heads which affected combustion and robbed it of power. Get six carbs to work together is like herding cats, feral cats.

    I was looking at the idea of building 4 into2 opposing inlet manifolds to stop the inlets on the same side scavenging from each other on the overlap, using a 2 barrell Webber. Apparently makes good power increase.

    Do you have any tips on how to remove the frozen Weber 40 IDF Auxilary Venturi 's ? I have looked in your IDF carburetors rebuilt videos and didn't find the answer unless I missed it.

    • @TheEZGZ
      @TheEZGZ  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've taken a peace of 1/8 welding rod and made it like a J hook. Then about 12inches away clamp on a pair of vise grips. Then you just use something like a 3/4 box wrench around the welding rod to create a slide hammer and tapp gentley away on each side until it starts moving. Are you changing venturi's ? Good Luck with your project.

      The carburetors, have oxidation between the venturi's and carburetor body. Both carburetors need a good cleaning. The carburetors were NOS.

      @@vintage76vipergreenBeetle In your origanal comment you wrote auxiluri veturi which is the tube above them. For the venturi itself I have used a penatrating oil called blaster and used a propane torch to quickly heat the carb body. Then taking a sharp screwdriver blade and lightly tapp. Don't damage the aluminum. If they are stubborn put the whole thing in your freezer for 1hour and try the heat again.
