DatDoug Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I have a Weber 32/36 that needs a rebuild. I think it needs an accelerator pump the most. It idles perfect and if you drive like a grandpa it runs good but as soon as you put a load on it (your foot into it) it bogs. So I am going to get a rebuild kit and would appreciate any knowledge from you all Thanks:D Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Yes, I have rebuilt them. It's one of the easier carbs ever to work on. First thing is make sure the throttle shaft is tight. If it moves side-to-side (diameter-wise) any noticeable amount, a Kit won't fix it. Pump problems usually result in a buck (hesitation) rather than a bog (slow pickup). Check it out carefully while it's still on the engine. Does it pump a smooth, rich stream? That's good. If the stream is intermittent or missing on any part of the stroke it needs the kit. Vacuum leaks also cause bucking problems, just like a bad pump would. The throttle shafts are the bad problem, but more common are leaks at the end of vacuum hoses or diaphragms (most Datsun distributor cans are leaking!). My advice is to not totally disassemble it. Don't take the throttle blades an choke blades apart. Just disassemble it enough to: * rinse it out * blow cleaner through each passage * replace pump and gasket Warnings: * don't let the spring or ball fly out and get lost. It might help when you separate the top from the carb body to hold it in a box (in case small part falls out) * carefully watch how the check valve goes together * Make sure the top gasket is not put on backwards Phone me if you have any questions and I can provide advice.

ggzilla Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Oh yes, don't forget to check the power valve and make sure the piston is not leaking. That's a hidden vacuum leak that you can't see from outside. Quote Link to comment

DatDoug Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks for the info. I will check for vaccum leak first. As for you Dave, I am glad to hear you have the 45 running good. Make sure you remember too:fu: Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 make sure the plunger is not stuck in the IN position. This happen to me. I WD40 it and was OK. yeah replace the accel pump diaphram Is it a steady stream of gas????? when cycled??? Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 It turns out it was not the weber. My nephew brought over his timing lite and we got it timed and now she runs like the wind blows! :D Now I am in the process of painting the Rising Sun on the hood.:D Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 brought over his timing lite !!!!!!!! This is a common trait!!!!!! No timming light and no battery hold down with Datsun owners I know!!!!!!!!!!!I too was cheap to buy timming light and battery hold down Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 brought over his timing lite !!!!!!!! This is a common trait!!!!!! No timming light and no battery hold down with Datsun owners I know!!!!!!!!!!!I too was cheap to buy timming light and battery hold down LOL ! Hainz, you're so right! Ask Icehouse about someone who fried their Datsun recently because the bunjee tie-down failed... :mellow: poor car Dual sidedrafts, rising sun hood, call it good.... :lol: I'm going to start collecting timig lights I find at a swap meet or garage sale and then hand them out to Ratsun members... just so this isn't an issue again. You will all have a Bleach Issued Timing Light. Quote Link to comment

Wait.......that was 1 of my Toyotas!:blink: I did have a timing lite but it was lost somewhere along the way. Besudes that is what relatives and friends R 4:fu: Quote Link to comment

Bleach Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I believe these Bleach Issued Timing lights will have a rising sun theme to them. Quote Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey....as long as it is shiny and cool and everyone else has one who cares if I know how to use it, right?:D Isn't it funny how we went from rebuilding a weber to battery tie downs(I don't have one of those either) and timing lights?? you guys are a hoot!!:lol: Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 This is a common trait!!!!!! I know!!!!!!!!!!!I too was cheap to buy timming light and battery hold down :D cuz if you dont have a battery hold down (or a timing light) your probabaly not gonna be successful in rebuilding a simple carb (BTW was answered in the first reply) :glare: so it only gets funnier :lol: Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Are we no longer welcome here at ratsun if we just happen to have both a timing light and a battery hold down.:rolleyes: Really, some of us have both.:D Jason Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Because I've learned the hard way...A proper battery hold down is one of the first things I install on a new ride, if it isn't already there... The second thing is a stereo :D Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I used to think new brakes were more important than a stereo, but I see your point :) Quote Link to comment
