This story is moving into tragedy at a rapid pace.Originally Posted by mopar_ja
After several phone calls to Jim Inglese, Weber Direct, Pierce Manifolds in California, I understand I do not have a Weber carb. I do, but I don't. It was Mike at Pierce Manifolds that cleared this up for me. This is worthwhile knowledge for everyone.
The carburetor that I bought from WeberDirect back in 2007 is not a Weber. Nowhere is the Weber name or logo on the carb anywhere. The key was in the model # of the carb- on the invoice and the carb itself is the model 34 DGEC. That is stamped on the baseplate casting also. Thing is WEBER NEVER MADE THAT MODEL CARB. In my mind, it is a carb that was licensed for manufacture by Weber or whatever...BUT IT IS NOT A Weber. It was made in Argentina or SlingShit Asia or somewhere...who the fuck knows?
This explains a hell of a lot- mainly why the hell the primary jet does not separate from the jet holder. I mangled one pretty good trying to get the fucking thing apart. It ain't fucking happening, I suspect they are one piece, and do not come apart. FUCK ME IN THE ASS WITH A HOT POKER. Fuuuuuck...
I need to source a K-611 conversion kit and carb and end this saga that started in June 2007.
Shit...FUCK...dammit...
Correction- the "phony Weber" is a 34DGEC- the genuine Weber is a 34DCEV...
And the conversion kit is a K610 BTW...not a K611...

Ok, I'm just waiting for UPS now.
Tell you what though, that carb is never going to power another vehicle ever. LOL
I had to disassemble it to where I could access that booger of a mounting nut. I could see and hear parts falling out of the thing.
That sumbitch is DONE.
I should get the new one Thurs and be running a couple hours after it arrives.
At least the dude gave me a serious break on the price.
Not only that, that jet kit I bought won't go to waste either...
