I took a HB Torana to Howarths Carburettor Service there in 1970, they did a great job
Doubt the same guy's are there but there still is a carburettor place there.

I've been having issues with my Weber, it's free revving at present. Tonight I changed the throttle cable with no luck. I'm guessing it's going in for repairs, any suggestions what is causing it? |

Does it have throttle bypass bleed screws? If so check they are closed. Does it have an air leak? O-ring mounts can do this, so I use gaskets instead. Never given a problem. |

Thanks Kev, doesn't have any bypass screws, the Weber came off a previous car, Unknown/history condition of the carburetter, it has done this before on the odd occasion, but it does it all the time now. When l get home I will take the Weber off and inspect the gasket for signs of leaking. I'm doubtful though, as soon as l start it, the revs just climb, like something internally is caught feeding air into the carb. There is a place at Bureood, who specialises in Weber servicing, thinking of taking it there to get rebuilt. Anyone uses this company before? |

Could be something worn or loose in the choke (is aux carb on a Weber)? They are known to leak fuel through when worn, so many racers block it off. The Burwood place is Carburettor Service Co. I have bought parts there, but not got one rebuilt. Why not take it to Graham Russell or Greig Malaure, they both speak Weber. I bet the result would be cheaper. |
