Weber Carburetor Rebuilding
100-Point Weber Carburetor Restorations
From a functional rebuild to a museum-quality restoration
We specialize in the restoration of Weber carburetion systems on everything from Cobras to Ferraris, with a special focus on V8 Weber carburetion systems from the 1960's.
Specialty vehicles and collector cars can sit for long periods of time, which causes gas inside a carburetor to turn into a gummy varnish that is like glue, cementing moving parts and clogging small orifices. Weber IDA's and DCOE's use a brass piston for an accelerator pump that rides inside a close-tolerance bore, just like a piston in a cylinder. Sometimes the pump pistons become "welded" in place from the dried varnish, and passageways inside the carburetors become clogged, especially the very tiny holes.
The check valve balls also become glued in place and no longer function. When these things happen, the carburetors must be disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt with fresh parts and gaskets. Most Weber carburetors can be completely restored and made to operate like new again, even after 50+ years, unless they're warped, which is not usually the case.
We specialize in Weber multiple carb rebuilds, which includes Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini induction systems. Whether you're a collector or dealer of exotic classics, we'll be happy to prebuild or restore your Weber carburetors with a fast turnaround.
If a car has been sitting in storage for a number of years, there may be sediment, corrosion, and general deterioration that may render the carburetors completely non-functional. Some parts may no longer move and have become frozen, and passageways and orifices are clogged.
The photos below show what the inside of carburetors can become like from sitting over time, and why rebuilding them is a good idea.

CLASSIC AND OBSOLETE WEBER RESTORATIONS
We restore anything from individual Weber carburetors to complete assemblies. This photo shows the carburetion on famous 1964 "flip-top Cobra", which we restored for Legendary Motorcars of Ontario, Canada. The carburetors and manifold were almost 60 years old, missing several parts, and the job was shipped to us in pieces. Photo taken at Pebble Beach.
This is the same Ferrari Dino carburetion system after restoration. Click on the photo for a better look.
The Flip-Top Cobra is shown here with both ends "flipped" up. This one-of-a-kind Cobra was the first experimental bigblock Cobra and was fitted with a one-off all-aluminum 390 fed by four huge 58DSF (58mm) Webers, which, by the way, we have had reproduced and offer for sale today.
This car was the original "mule" that led to the development of the 427 Cobra. The header photo at the top of this page shows the car on the track in the 60's with battle scars.
One of our restoration specialties is vintage Ferrari carburetion. This is the "before" photo of a Ferrari Dino carburetion system sent here for restoration. Click on the photo for a more detailed look at how it arrived here.
Shown here is a six Weber DCN restoration completed for a Ferrari Daytona 365 GTB. We serve Ferrari owners and Ferrari restoration shops that require the highest level of detail when they must look and perform as showroom new. Our restorations include replating all metal components and vapor blasting of all castings to produce a show-winning, museum-quality restoration with unmatched attention to detail.
All carburetors are reassembled using the proper rebuild kits, floats are set to factory specifications, and each carburetor is wet-tested. The carburetors you receive back are your own, and they will look and operate as 100% new.
We specialize in the restoration of all Weber carburetors for classic Ferraris, Maseratis, and Lamborghinis, as well as any other 60’s-era exotics and vintage race cars. Our specialty is making 60-year-old Weber carburetors look and operate like new again.
Our service is not limited to just the carburetors. We perform restorations on complete induction units for Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Maseratis like the one shown here.
If you have an old set of carburetors and/or a manifold for an American V8, you can send them here to have a ready-to-run carburetion system built with your parts. We'll ship you back a unit that runs and looks just like one of our brand-new carburetion assemblies.Refresh, restore, or customize
When you send us your carburetors, we can perform any level of work on them that you need. Rebuilds are for functionality only; restorations make the carburetors look showroom new again. Or, we can customize the finish in any way you like.
