New webers-check them out of the box

[carlmb]

I purchased a 48 IDF setup at the end of last season for my mustang bolted it on and attempted to get it running properly. Only put about 400 miles on the car but could never get it running right. Dead cylinders, fuel pressure issues ect. I knew i was going to pull the motor out and rebuild it over the winter so I did not go crazy. I am in the process of powder coating the carbs so I bought 4 gasket kits and tore them down. It is an embarrasment what these carbs looked like inside. I run a prefilter and large after filter so I know the debris did not come from me. Also, the floats were so far out of adjustment I don't know how the car ran at all. One float was actually in a locked position because both tabs were bent all the way in and the needle could not open. (dead cylinder issue) Just a heads up for new weber guys. Open them up even if they are new and clean em up.
