selling a set of 48 IDA's. Have linkages, vents, stacks, larger empi race stacks, fuel t fitting and braided lines, Red IDA caps.
I had bought these a while ago from someone in the USA that didn't "package" them properly, or so I was told :angry:
Anyways, A piece on one of the IDA's broke off. Bruce had welded on a new piece of Alum, and now a small hole needs to be milled. I forget the name of the piece that broke off (its in the center of the two intakes, near the bottom). You will need to get the few small pieces from Weber which are still avaliable. Art from "ACE" and probably the guys at Airspeed will be able to get these pieces in.
I will get pictures later tonight.
To complete these you will need:
manifolds, jets & tubs, & those little pieces
Stephan
PS: these are the early Italian IDA's

Can you weld aluminum on the carbs???
I just bought a welder and the dood told me that if I change the gas I can weld Aluminum. I bought that Clarke from Gutterslug. Can You weld Aluminum with that welder?
-
Really depends if you got a spoolgun with the mig welder. The preferred method is TIG welding. IT IS A BLAST! Really tough to start but a nice weld when you are done. Do we have any TIG welding doods on the forum?? They will tell you
I believe you will need Argon gas and double the flow as it is not as dense as CO2 mix.

You could try but you'll be fighting it the whole time. Aluminum's too soft and pliable to push through a 7' whip.
Because the feed motor/rollers are located in the "box" on yours it has to push it all the way to the tip of the gun.
That's why ya need a spool gun which has the feed motor built right into the handle. There's pro's and con's to both. Spools are heavier than torches. Torch-style can handle an 11 lb. roll of wire where a spool only (that I've seen at least) can only handle a 2 lb. roll so you're changing often and dealing with tightly-wound wire which can be a little tricky.
Answer your Q?
^_^
-
Yup thanks
-
Yes Tig would be the prefered method - but a mig may suffice....
I have access to all that stuff here at work and a pretty damn good machine shop to boot!
-
Talk to Darren Orr (double door)He is a welder.

i hope your not trying to say that i did it...
-
That's what he told me :P
See what I can start here.
-
Put on your flame suits and hold on everyone!
-
I'd love to learn how to TIG weld. Quite the artform IMHO.

Read the post again Nathan :rolleyes: :P
-
We should hold welding parties.. Kinda like Candle parties :P
-
I get to watch and learn from the pipefitters and macinists on afternoon shift - I've been practicing for 8+ months and my welds still look like crap.
-
In order to properly weld with GTAW (tig) on aluminium, helium purge gas is best, with high frequency AC current. This is due to the almost instantaneous oxidation of aluminium.
Matt, TIG welding is just like welding with gas.

posts about you and pipefitters takes on a whole new meaning.... :P

I welded the part on with a TIG welder. It is the part that holds the acc pump lever.
If Cameron had the carb, he could easily machine up a new shaft for the pump lever and screw it on. Then you need the pump lever, the pump return spring, and the circlip.

I'll go $500 big ones on it...that's my final answer :P

Well put. It is just like welding with gas. Takes a bit of technique for sure.

still dont see any pictures, why dont you go out and get them fixed and try selling them, no one is going to pay that kind of money for broken carbs

Thanks for the suggestion. If I do not get what I'd like, then I will take that route. I have had no time to post pictures till now because of studying.
here they are!
In the first pictures you can see what the proper shaft should look like with all of the parts intact. The one carb needed to be disassembled because it needed to be held in a vice while welding. The other parts that are included with the carbs are not pictured.
The linkage is a Tayco Polished bar, Empi Large stacks (brand new) & braided lines with anodized fittings.

I'm sure the bore of the carb that was welded is probably out of round from the heat distortion, and that's not good so close to the butterfly. they could be very hard to tune.

nope, everything is fine. and you can come and measure everything yourself. We thought about that before going ahead with this.
Stephan
-
speaking of tuning, has anyone got some good advice on how to tune these things, where does a guy start on specific jetting, tuning etc??
-
How much for the sock in the third picture - does it need any repair to be usable? And does it come with a matching partner?

It needs a new rear Pan half. The paint is a bit faded. it used to be grey, but the hood bra covered the original paint.
Nice Patina look! Very nice on the inside, keeps heat in well...
I will thorw it in free of charge with its partner...However, its in a bit better shape :P

:lol:

The venturi slides in just like it should. The throttle shaft turns easy. Tuning will be no different than any other IDA.
-
I'm not talking about the venturi or the shaft, I'm talking where the butterfly meets the body. Would be simular to having a twisted throttle shaft.

as you can see in the pictures, there are a pair of IDA carbs.
Nothing has been altered because of the repair made. both of them are in spec with each other and another IDA that we compared it too.
Make me an offer people!
Stephan
-
Can you show us the IDA you compared it to???
-
Every time I see IDA, I wanna go grocery shopping. For some stupid reason it makes me think of IGA. But I don't even shop there. Man, I gotta go find dinner.
-
IDA is actually a drug store Matt, Maybe you are thinking about that :huh:

One of us has seen the carb first hand, the other has not.
The carb is fine.
-
MMMMMMMMMM groceries!!!
Plus that reminds me, I gotta go get my prescription. This rash won't go away by itself you know.
-
You should take care of that rash so it does not spread. Spreading is not good.. ;)
-
accepting offers
-
So Matt did you see and IDA drug store yet???I think they are accepting applications...
Maybe IDA drugs are in the States???
Now I am not sure , However I know they exist!! ;)

Stephan
-
I am pretty sure they exist here too. I think we have one in town here. Got my cream today. The rash is already looking better. Will post pics when I get a chance.
-
Jason, please don't show us the pics. Please.
I found some dinner last night so the grocery train of thought was gone. I could still go for some drugs though....
-
The Craps are not gonna sell... speaking of Carb, jason if you ate better you should never get a rash... but I don't wanna see the pics either... brings me back to EN and his leg thing...
Did you ever see a picture of that?

Dood that pic still keeps me up at night
-
You pay me $5 and I will take them.

I didn't know you could get chicken pox there. Cool thanks Shane. That's a load off. :rockon:
-
getting back to my original question though. Is it hard to tune IDFs,DRLAs,IDAs?? I have a set of 36 drlas and have always been scared to use them because I have always heard they are a pig to synch. Is there any good info I should know??
-
NO easy dood, Go to your local VW shop and by the book on them.. or better yet when I come get the pan I will lend you mine ;)
-

Readers Digest - Home Improvements, great read, all about the pictures though.

I'm an non-fiction kinda guy, the best book I've read recently was Michael J Fox's "Lucky Man", Parts in there make ya laugh, then the next page you have tears in your eyes.
-
Man, I wish I had the time to read a book.... Darren are they going to make that book into a movie?? I would like to see it if they do.
