NEED HELP! I'm nineteen and have been rebuilding my '74 for a year now and I started rebuilding my Weber 32/36 carburetor to replace the floats and some gaskets and have NO IDEA how to put it back together. The blueprint has been no help so far and I'm looking for any tips on putting it back together. Right now I have it broken down into the three main components and am stuck. ANY ADVICE HELPS.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Presuming you removed all the jets (those little brass things with holes in 'em) make sure you get the proper jet back into its proper location.  Since it's a two barrel carb, you'll have two idle jets, two main jets, two emulsion tubes (straw-shaped with holes in 'em) and two air correction jets.  They're all marked with (very small) numbers that indicate their size.  Follow the instructions to insure they're placed in the proper barrel (primary or secondary) side.  Otherwise you're gonna have problems. 

 

cheers

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
