E30 325i Rag-Top 2915 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 the carburetor needs balancing is this a hard job?I have done quite a few carb balances in the past, and while it's not a hard job, there is a certain knack to it.If you get it very wrong there is a potential to cause damage to valves, etc. but this is most unlikely. Worst thing that is likely to happen if you have a reasonable mechanical knowledge is a little rough running under heavy load and poor fuel consumption! Is the 33 ti a boxer engine, with two twin choke weber carbs? Remembering the twin webers I used to try and balance it took a while as there are about three adjustment screws, idle, main jet and secondary jet, and four sets of them. So it can take a while. There are plenty of reference books and web-sites that will give you the basic procedure, and a piece of garden hose is almost as accurate as any carb-balancer that I have ever tried unless you have a CO meter. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2915 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Ok genius, which particular bit is a crock of crap? Having worked on a car with a different engine you obviously know all there is about carbs on Alfas. So please enlighten me, I am always open to new learning opportunities.
