Weber 32/36 DGAV Leaking

[dmulally]

Hi All,

Blew the dust off a weber carb for the Imp and after hacking away the firewall it has a leak when running. Does anybody know what this part is and how to fix it? Google suggests an accelerator pump/diaphragm. Will buy a gasket kit anyway and have a rummage but if anybody has any tips it would be appreciated.

yep that is the accelerator pump and the diaphragm always shits its self when it dries out for a while.

try murray at weber specialties, he may be able to send u a new one. 

i'm not sure who else has them but more than likely a decent performance shop near u could order them, id say good luck with the likes of ripco / stupid and cheap

 

edit: tip is to remember which wat the spring goes, some are tapered springs and some are straight and get it on the right side of the diaphragm. LOL 

its a very simple job.

on searching,  palmside stock a rebuild kit.

Yeah cheers. I went with the one from Palmside. Have ordered from them before and am always shocked at how fast the get stuff out the door. 

I'll keep an eye on the spring too cheers.

how's your jetting?

140/140 main and 55/50 idle jets are a good starting point for ea81

Yep I went with that @cubastreet. I pulled this from a Subie forum and ordered these. Still waiting for my diaphragm (which was sent a week ago) so hopefully it comes soon. Best thing is that even leaking and not yet tuned, the carb fixed my hesitation problem. Shame I don't get to use the SU as it looked really cool.
