DCOE 40 151 & 45 152 Venturi removal tip

PostPost by: au-yt » Tue Apr 09, 2019 7:31 am

Again another discovery I hope I am not repeating but will be of help someday
While trying to sort a over rich mixture, I dismantled the carbs and in this case WEBER DCOE 40 151 ( new style Spanish carbs with addition adjustment.
I discovered the Air By-Pass Screw item 26 actually goes through a hole in the Venturi (Choke Tube) item 22 and you need to remove the Air By-Pass Screw item 26, I bent my by-Pass screws not realizing they are an interference fit
