rebuilding a 32 36 weber
« on: April 23, 2007, 06:17:32 PM »
O.k. I bought a weber 32 36 for my son's 87 honda accord. Worst case I stick it on my Samurai. I bought it cheap. The honda factory carb had a few issues. Someone decided to take the factory carb and pull some of the linkage off + a few components I think.


Is there a file I can download that shows a  weber rebuild so I can see what I'm in for?

I have never rebuilt a carb before and wonder if this would be a good starter one. I don't want to wreck it. Do the rebuild kits come with good directions and do you need any special tools? Also, Do I buy the full kit with the float? I have a top or two with new brass floats that might work but I don't know. I also have the electric solex choke but don't know how to adjust it if I swap it over.

I was also thinking of just slapping it on there at the cost of a gasket or two and seeing how it runs. Maybe spray some carb spray to check for vacuum links. I will ask the guy how long it was stored.

What do you think?

o.k. the guy told me he bought this back in 97 and drove it for a about 4 years and rebuilt it once. then drove it for a couple more and has been stored for a couple years. I guess it may need a rebuild. I'm sure there are a few people like me here that are reluctant to rebuild a carburetor and would benefit from some advise and instruction.

 Any insight appreciated.

Thanks. Hopefully the carb rebuild kit has good enough instructions as well so I don't over disassemble it. I did that once with an hitachi and thought my head was going to explode!! (ha ha!)

-I'm also wondering if all the 32 36 webers are about the same.  The one I picked up is a DGAV33b1. It has an electric choke.The guy I bought it from said he drove it for 4 yrs, rebuilt it and drove it for another 4 yrs and then shelfed it for 2 yrs. He also said that the accord it came off of has an electric fuel pump in the tank that puts out 8 - 11 p.s.i. and that this weber was designed to run on that vehicle fine and wouldn't need a regulator. Hmmm!!!?????!!!

There are lots of different variations, the 32/36 was an OE fitment on a lot of vehicles over a good few years. Sarge is the man to talk to about differences.
