Weber IDF idle jets blocked AGAIN! Fixing with minimum tools 

I had the same repeated blocked idle jets.....cured the problem by fitting fine gauze covering the centre part of the carb where dirt gets in. 1 year later...never had blocked jets again!!

You saved me! Had same issue on my 914. I cleaned the jets but I did not clean the circuit by removing the carb top. That solved it! Thank you!

Try spraying carb cleaner into the areas with blockage. This has worked for me on my 1961 corvette Carter and my 1976 mercury 850 outboard. All had blocked idle circuits. After spraying with carb cleaner the blockage was dissolved. Immediately for the mercury and overnight for the Carter. Idle is now amazingly smooth.

Subscribed mate 👍 Always respected the UK VW scene air & watercooled.... (Thank you Maj. Hurst)

I just used to make them spit back in the morning to clear the idle circuits. It seemed to work well enough.

Perhaps carrying the right size drill and a pin vise to take care of this my be suggested?!? Good luck!!!

I have this problem on my 77 Midget with a Weber 32/36 DGEV carb. I'll rip that carb apart tomorrow and give this a try.

This is why I run Dellorto

I use a brake bleeder pump to suck fuel and debris up and out of the air jet channel. Seems to work every time I get a blockage.

We miss you! What have you been up to lad?
