Well, just got my Weber back from the machinist and going to put it back together tonight. I know that if the cam shaft for the pump jets gets jacked its a really expensive fix. I was wondering what to lube it the shaft with? It came from the factory without lube. Just want to minimize the wear and tear it. I have some good old fashion grease. Looking for good grease/lube to use on it.

Thanks.

 

Just slightly lubricate it wtih clear grease (cant remember the brand) along wtih the springs. Did you enlarge the pump jet too??

BTW: With my recent project, I add more progression holes to a 48 IDA (making total 4 progression holes). It made it too rich. Up to bridgeport, 3 progression holes are good enough. I will also try 4 with my 13-B P-Port project

 

teflon grease

 

thanks. Sorry my rusty old brain is not functioning properly due to lack of beer

 

thanks guys, off to the parts store. carb looks really nice. got the 3 progression holes, broke the wall out the float bowl and enlarged the fuel inlet holes. only restriction there will be the 3.3 glass ball needle seat. Hopefully I will be swapping the old carb out this Sunday, supposed to be 50 hot degrees outside

 

brrrrrrrrrr....thats cold for me. but IDA loves cold weather
