Rebuilding Weber 34 ICT Carbs

[@pclarke70]

Thank you, I’m having troubles with the Weber on my Land Rover, I was searching for ideas on how to strip and clean it and found your video 🤩🤩🤩 A great confidence builder for me, I will tackle it with a clearer picture in my mind now. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks from the UK 🇬🇧

[@VWJawbreaker]

I’m glad you found the video useful, hopefully it’ll help you get the carbs sorted out 🤙

[@rench1984]

Exactly the same here. Gonna whip mine off and do it, once the service pack and gaskets arrive.

[@TheJorgSacul]

Best video I've seen in a long time- no BS, straightforward teaching and showing. Thank you!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesschofield3958]

I have the same carb on my 66 series landrover and this was great for the little bits i was unsure on. Thanks!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Glad you found the video helpful!

[@GoodOldMike]

Nice job Gary. So nice to see the cleaner out there doin some good. thanks for doing what u do brother.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Good Old Mike's Garage it’s definitely been out to use since I got it from you. I have a subscriber that wants a rebuild video for a different carb, I’m sure the ultrasonic will make an appearance 😁

[@1960bluebug]

Wow, glad I found this video! Have set of dual ICT's in my '60 bug that's been sitting for a while since a move to another state. Starts up but runs like crap. Will try the rebuild. Old gas probably gummed it up real good! Thanks again for the info.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Yep, sounds like cleaning out the old gas and verifying the accel pump is working along with blowing out the jet passages would help. Give this video a look at also. Thanks for commenting, stay safe and healthy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJqseYOdqtB9jNE

[@jojosensor1491]

Gary, I have the same carbs and I was wondering if you had the specifics for the rebuild kit you used and, perhaps, where you ordered it from. Thanks.--Rob

[@VWJawbreaker]

I wish I had that information for you but the person I rebuilt the carbs for provided the kits. I’ll reach out to him tonight and see if he remembers.

[@frankneugebauer6159]

Jawbreaker....nice video! I have a pair of Weber 34 Ict to install on a 1600 any tips? Also, where do you get your replacement parts? Thanks again!! Frank in central Fl.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Hey man, glad you enjoyed the video! 34’s on a 1600 is a great combo, you’ll just need to get it accordingly. Local, triangle in winter park is good for parts or the VDub factory in oval. Otherwise shop around between CIP1, Wolfsburg West, AA Performance, etc.

[@davegiller5303]

Excellent stuff gary

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thank you, hope it helped you out.

[@reeftheseaforever]

Thanks for the video I'm running the new empi 34 epc carbs noticed that my left carb is dribbling Gass by the diaphragm engine works fine . Do u think it's loose bolts causing the leak? I'm going to check today .

[@VWJawbreaker]

If it’s leaking on the outside then it’s probably the accelerator pump cover bolts loose or the diaphragm is bad.

[@Aircooled_mike]

Hi. Great video. I’ve just bought a t2, I feel like my first job should be to rebuild the carbs. I don’t have an ultrasonic cleaner. Is there something else I can use to clean? Degreaser and toothbrush maybe?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Thanks for the feedback and congrats on your t2! You can use a can of brake clean or carb clean and some soft brushes and compressed air to blow out the passages. Hope that helps!

[@Aircooled_mike]

@@VWJawbreaker thanks dude. I will buy some stuff in. I’ve got a compressor so will be ok for the air

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@Aircooled_mike you should be just fine then. Most of the time you don’t need an ultrasonic cleaner but it helps with the stubborn carbs that keep having issues. 👍

[@swatscorner]

Obviously as others have said, this is commonly used on old land rovers. I can’t get the emulsion tube out. Ok to poke from the other end with a pick or something? Thanks!!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Absolutely. I did another set recently and had to use a small pick to get them out.

[@swatscorner]

@@VWJawbreaker sounds good! I’ll try that. Thanks so much for the helpful video!

[@mikebythesea]

Great video thanks for putting it together, it helped a lot. 👍

[@VWJawbreaker]

Glad it helped ya out!

[@BecksTKD]

After rebuilding my Weber 34ict carbs, the engine won’t start. I suspect it’s the mixture screws, because that’s about the only thing that changed positions. However, I rebuilt all the linkage too. The carbs pop and backfire which seems like an easy fix. The mixture screws were way out before I started the rebuild, and the engine ran, and it seems like I’ve moved them from 1.5-4.5 turns looking for some change. Any thoughts my friend?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Sounds like it could be a vacuum leak or timing. If your mixture screws are that far out your idle jets are too small.

[@busman5429]

Thanks for sharing Cleaner does a nice job. Happy Fathers Day.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Dan Love thank you Dan. Happy Father’s Day to you as well! Hope you have a great day buddy!

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

I noticed your emulsion tube just fell out. On the empi version the emulsion tube doesn't fall out. I didn't want to mess it up trying to take it out so I just left mine in there. Do you know how to take it out on an empi version? Thanks JawBreaker.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I’m sure it will come out, they are probably just stuck in there a little more vs what you saw on these carbs. I’d try a small pick and see if you could pull it out.

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

@@VWJawbreaker sounds good, I will see what happens and try to avoid damaging the tubes. The only reason I want to take them out is to make sure they are not clogged.

[@jimlester5003]

I am thinking of picking up a set of these. I am just wondering if I should get something with a choke. It can get a little cool in Massachusetts. Let me know what you think. Thanks for another OUTSTANDING video Gary.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Jim Lester carbs with a choke are nice, then again I don’t have any experience dealing with the winters up north. Just like any carb, if you jet them properly it shouldn’t be an issue. Hold the pedal down for maybe a minute to keep the rpms up a little and she’ll idle just fine.

[@brandonswafford861]

What are you using on the main jets? You're in FL?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Yep, I’m in Florida. Not sure what size main jets, these were for a friends type 4 bud engine and I don’t remember what size we settled on back then.

[@stevecoats4869]

What cleaning solution where you using? Great video BTW.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I was using the 1 gal Gunk carb cleaner from the local auto store.

[@greenlabelseries]

Hey I just rebuilt my 34ICH, now I have a weird stutter when I’m pedal to the floor. Mid range it’s fine, what might that be ?

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@greenlabelseries if it’s when you’re floored and under higher rpm, that’ll be the main jet being too small. If it stutters and then goes away, that could be the accelerator adjustment

[@greenlabelseries]

@@VWJawbreakerthank you! I’d check out on my side

[@joeswinny7686]

Your vid's 5yr old but it sure helps me - thank you.

[@VWJawbreaker]

I’m glad it helped you out 🤙

[@1984Ruski]

I have single weber 34 ict in my opel bedford 2.3 petrol engine, it runs good :) So it is posibble to put it in even bigger motor

[@VWJawbreaker]

Awesome!

[@1jlisuzu]

I know this is old.. what about the accelerator pump jet.. mine drips when running. What would cause that. im gonna do a rebuild and clean

[@VWJawbreaker]

Could be from the engine shaking or the adjustment is too tight. Definitely worth looking into.

[@bigwadventures7061]

Nice Video and Great Job on the carb cleaning. Hardest part is remembering where everything goes when done. Thanks for sharing and have a great week. Keep VeeDub’n Buddy. BigW:-)

[@The_Devil_Nside]

I build trumpets (Triumph motorcycles) and was wondering if you could use a split cable to run both carbs instead of the long bar

[@VWJawbreaker]

There is a setup that uses a cable, I’ve never used one before.

[@mileageunknown8910]

Hahahah love the chipmunk 🐿 voice! I want an ultrasonic! I need 2 do the carbs on the Fastback! Great vid!/info!

[@VWJawbreaker]

Mileage Unknown thanks man!

[@jedallen6596]

Hey great video, really helped, can you please advise ref the idle jet screw on the ICT’s t It’s the last part on the video, are these supposed to be tight or have any adjustments like the air intake screw, thanks

[@VWJawbreaker]

at what minute mark are you referring to? There is an idle screw and a idle mixture screw, the only 2 adjustments that I can recall at this moment.

[@jedallen6596]

17min 20 seconds

[@norizzaperez3647]

Does the floater need adjustment? I remember long ago, I used to adjust the floater with a paper gage.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Good point, yes. The float needs to be set to 10mm closed.

[@brookster16v]

Great video I need to get myself an ultrasonic cleaner . How many litre was yours cheers

[@VWJawbreaker]

B - rookie Racing thanks for watching and for the sub! I’ll check out your channel later this weekend when I have some time. I have a 6L ultrasonic cleaner but I’d recommend that you go to a 10-12L size.

[@brookster16v]

@@VWJawbreaker cheers my channel is just vw racing nothing too exciting

[@lillyblue1907]

Thanks for video. Will you clean and adjust a 34 pict carb one day?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Brent Chastain I sure can, not sure I have anything to run it on but I can still go through it for you.

[@VWJawbreaker]

+VWJawbreaker give me a week or two tips and I’ll have a video up for you. 👍

[@campervanbug7658]

Can you do a video on properly adjusting floats and emulation tubes please 🥺

[@campervanbug7658]

Is it ok to smear Vaseline on the gaskets?

[@VWJawbreaker]

I have other carb videos that address that. I don’t have any ICT carbs at the present time to go through.

What else could you use the machine for besides carb. parts? Great How to video. Should be able to help alot of people out with this video

[@VWJawbreaker]

Volkswagenplanet if you change out the cleaner it will also work well as a small parts cleaner.

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

so that's where the emulsion tube is hiding.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Guess so!

[@maniacatthecontrols]

So any dirt that comes off the screws & jets will be in the carb. Better to put them in a separate tin.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Dozens of carbs and never had an issue.

[@maniacatthecontrols]

@VWJawbreaker I don't suppose you have but it doesn't seem like very good practice to move any dirt into the carb rather than getting rid of it. Good, helpful video other than that though, thank you.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@maniacatthecontrols the majority of the dirt would be on the carb and not on the screws and jets. Glad you enjoyed the video otherwise.

[@ThomasJoel]

Didn’t have a complete blockage of fuel coming out of the jets until after I rebuilt the carbs thought?

[@VWJawbreaker]

Did you check the needle and seat to ensure it’s not stuck open? Trying to understand what you mean.

[@ThomasJoel]

I’m going to take them apart and check that. Thanks!

[@ThomasJoel]

Got her running. Good idle, but lots of backfiring from both sides thoughts?

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@ThomasJoel could be timing or it’s too lean.

[@ThomasJoel]

@@VWJawbreakerwhen you say lean, do mean lean on gas, or air. Checked timing and we are set there. How is that best addressed?

[@234chrissyd]

Having trouble with mine. Car idles okay but as soon as you give it throttle it's spluttering and hesitating. I've replaced all the ignition parts on the car, adjusted timing, cleaned out fuel tank, replaced fuel lines, new fuel pump. Confident the carb is being supplied with plenty of fuel and engine is getting spark. I've followed your video and took out the jets, cleaned them, manually blew through them, new throttle pump diaphragm. Everything seems okay. Can't figure it out lol. Frustrating.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Chris Dermott it can definitely be frustrating. Have you gone through the dual carb sync process? Are you running dual single barrel carbs? If so, do you have the balance tube hooked up between the 2 carbs?.

[@234chrissyd]

@@VWJawbreaker Thanks for replying. Just a singular weber 34 ich carb thankfully. It's on a Mk2 1978 Ford Escort 1300. What I have noticed is if I shut the engine off, take off the top half of the carb.. The float bowl appears to be only 25 ~ 30% full of fuel. Not sure what the normal level should be.
