[Michael Maulucci (michaelmaulucci]

Hi Rick, Ferrari list,
There is a co on Long Island that sells Weber carb parts separately.
Just in case you can't find them anywhere else try www.carbsdirect.com and
www.carbs.net

Hi Mike,

Kits from Recambi, as I recall, but today I'd go to Pierce Manifold first.
I've had the kits for months, being too lazy to do the job in Houston's
summer heat.

Yes, new accelerator pump diaphragm in kits.  For the same new fuel reason,
I'm replacing all the fuel lines with modern hose.  Granted, carbed car
hoses only see about 4psi of pressure, but since everything is already
exposed...

The wrinkle black is stock, as was used on the GT4 Euros.  May be associated
with the dry sump Euro Spec.
