Need help Identifying some carbs
I've got a set of Weber carbs I need help identifying. These were on a 2.4 engine but weren't stock. Can anyone tell me what I've got and what they are worth. I believe they need to be rebuilt. Thanks!

They look like 40 IDA 3C's but you can ID them yourself by looking at the upper stamped numbers on the left-facing float chambers,...
![]() I see aftermarket main venturies but you cannot tell what their condition is unless you look inside the float chambers for any corrosion and measure the radial play in the throttle shafts. Value is predicated on whether they need any major work or not. ![]()

Thank you. I'll look for the stamped numbers.
Assuming they need to be fully rebuilt, how much should I ask for them? I don't need them for any of my projects. |

Look like 40's due to the float chamber vent tubes - 46's don't have those ...
![]() - in fact I'd say they're probably 40 IDTP's .

It also depends on how they were cared for...
Most of these are now 30-40 years old and have suffered the wear and tear of use. I notice a non-standard float bowl plug on the left side...you can tell it is a different size than the right side. I also don't see anything safety wired. Everything can be fixed with bubblegum and bandaids for a while...but eventually will need to be correctly repaired. As mentioned above, sloppiness in the shaft and corrosion are the biggest issues.

I don't know if it's relative but the Zenith 40s have the same vent tubes on them, too.
