- This is a little technical episode as a follow up to my last two carburettor rebuild videos. In this video I focus on removing and refitting the main throttle shaft for Weber DCOE carburettors, and replace the bearings.
My previous carburettor videos:
• Weber DCOE Carburetor ...
• Weber Side-draft Carbu...

Was wondering where you have been? Glad to see you’re back and OK. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to many more. Be safe
Thanks man! I have plenty of time now for videos.
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Braydon Kolton Instablaster :)
@Salvador Keaton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Was wondering when we'd see another video! Hope all is well!
Great to see you back! While I don't have carbs in my 1991 Alfa Spider, I always enjoy watching your rebuild videos. Very informative and interesting. Thanks again. Take care.
Fantastic detail mate. Great to see you making vids again.
Man, I LOVE your Videos. I wish there were some for every little part of these gorgeous Alfas. Keep it up pls
Hopefully I'll get to that point!
Great video-thanks-I've rebuilt many types of carbs but never Webers and I'm looking at a rebuild of my 40DCOEs for a transplant into a 105 Series TI I just bought
Great tips on removal and things we mere mortals might encounter. Welcome back JB. You have been missed
Thanks Steve. Congrats on the Ti! Of course I'm biased towards those cars.
We missed you! Nice to see you back! Tahnk you for uploading all these interesting videos!
O hell yeah!! hahaha always worth the wait for one of these videos
Thanks again man, next one isn't too far off.
Your work is always a treat and please, make videos to your schedule as it allows because the quality is worth waiting for.
Haha at my schedule they'll never get done!
Great to see you again Yethro! I love to see your detailed videos. Thanks!
Jethro, did you get abducted by aliens? Good to see you back! Iain Tyrrell was in Cape Town recently to tune some Weber carbs on an old Aston at a small museum. Still lots of classic cars in the country.
Yep I saw that video with Iain Tyrell, at this really great museum in the Western Cape ,really enjoyed that video and Tyrell really knows his stuff. So very glad that Jethro is back,watching his videos are therapeutic and informative at the same time
I love your videos Jethro. Keep them coming please.
Excited to see your videos showing up in my feed. Hope you are doing well!
Thanks for the continued support man! Means a lot. More videos soon.
Love your vids. In a previous life, I had a 63 Sprint,65 spider veloce and a 76 spider with weber conversion.
Donald Israel Thank you! All very beautiful cars, especially that 65 Spider, that’s a dream car of mine.
Great video Jethro, just started taking mine apart and found your videos on the Weber carbs. Thanks and keep safe!
Great to see you back! Super useful video
Me: *coughs*
Brass shaft: *bends*
Exactly
Hey Jethro, awesome video as always! 😊❤️😎
Good service
Damn, that was very enjoyable watching a new video! Glad to see you back! 👍 Also could you update us on your cars? And the spider you were rebuilding?
I have a Spider update video coming this weekend. A lot has changed on that car.
@@JethroBronner great! I can't wait to see it!
Hi. Great video!. Its great that you state the part number for bearings - real cheap to get hold of. Will 2RS bearing seal completely, or do I still need to fit leather gasket - i didnt see them in your video? Can I recycle the washers, or do you replace them. If I can just fit the bearing its a real money saving solution compared to the total Weber kit.
The rubber sealed bearings are already sealed as they arrive. I just clean up the washers and re-use them if they're in good shape.
Great work you’re so patient with these fiddle jobs - hope to see some CO2 on the channel soon 👍😝
This would have helped me in 2003 when I had a Ford Cortina with the 2 liter Pinto engine.
It had a double Weber carburettor and no matter what you did to the damn thing, it ran worse.
New needles, worse, new jets, worse, complete cleanup with every seal and diaphragm, worse, new coldstart spring, worse, new spindle bearing, car would run like an absolute Schweinehund, hunting, rough running, idle too high, idle so low it would die, conclusion, carburetors do not work.
The only thing worse is carburettor in combination with two stroke engine.
Then you have something that physically cannot run as it is impossible to function in any way.
No wonder I like diesels
Your first video I have watched and I've already subscribed to your channel, thank you! I have a quick question if you have time. I have a very early 45 DCOE with leather seals (not a brass shaft though, it's a steel shaft). I want to replace the bearings with sealed units thus eliminating the leather seals, can I use the same shaft or would it be recommended to use the later steel shaft with everything else remaining the same? Thank you once again!
The same seals should work just fine 👍
Do you apply any lubrication to the shaft when you reassemble? Or is it meant to be dry? I'm refurbing my 40 dcoe 2s. I've used sealed bearings as an upgrade.
Hi Jethro! It's good to see some new videos coming our way. I'm starting to work on an GTV myself, can you suggest a source were I can find a tool list for restoring one of this classic alfas?
Thanks
Hmm I don't know of anywhere that has a list like that published. I built up my tool collection bit by bit as I went along. These cars don't require very many specialised tools for general restoration.
It's easier to get the tools as you tackle each job.
How do I remove the spring wrapped around where the pin sits?
Man it’s been awhile. How long did that last carb rebuild take?!? Lol
Great vid Jethro. Thanks a mil. Just out of interest, Have you ever attempted a Diff rebuild?
I have rebuilt diffs before, but they were mostly just quick refreshes of fairly good diffs.
I’ll be doing a couple of diff builds on the channel soon, one for my 1300 Ti and one for my GTV.
@@JethroBronner Awesome - looking forward to that... The diff on my GTV is whining, and the general consensus is it is not possible to get it right DIY. would like to see your approach.
Jethro Bronner does your GTV have an LSD? I’m planning to refresh mine next so I’d love to see one of those rebuilt :)
No my 1750 GTV just has an open 4.3:1 diff. But the 4.1:1 I'm building for the Ti will be limited slip.
Why can’t my next BF know Alfas like this?
I unsubscribed cause you stopped uploading
Yeah I can understand that. Sorry mate. Keep an eye on the channel, I'll be uploading again, and if you like the new videos, I'd appreciate your support.
@@JethroBronner yeah I seen the videos on the home page re-subscribed
