You definitely don't want to cover those mechanical works of art up any more than necessary. You hardly see anything so precisely designed yet all out in the open like that anymore. Nicely done.
Saw Kav and the finished project on the road and it is BEAUTIFUL. Great stance and looks like a million bucks...if I weren't on the way to taking my wife to her b-day dinner, I would have slowed down to talk to him.
I’ve been watching all the series of this 911 rebuild. The meticulous details that you render are outstanding including the measure on the stretch of the stud while torquing. Outstanding detailing & it’s a pleasure to listen , watch & understand. I only have a small suggestion, please use a wooden pallet under the Weber when you work on it, so that you could avoid any untoward scratches on the mating flange surface. I am in awe of you & your work hence this humble suggestion from my end. Precision watch makers would recalibrate themselves watching you work. I bow down with respect for you. Thanks a million.
Been watching for a while, I really enjoy this series. The German in me is especially fond of the way you organize parts. Möge dieser Kanarienvogel bald wieder fliegen!
Great respect! Unbelievable how you disassemble and assemble these complicated parts from the car. I almost can’t believe that the engine will run when you are ready.
WOW, these are great videos! I have been watching the whole series, and Kav is genius...this is proof that if you have a passion for something and take the time to learn, you can do it. Thank You for this very informative video, better than any television series out there.
C'mon Kav. You're not going to let Franny beat you to the engine rebuild finish line, are you? I'm so bored in lockdown, and these videos are so soothing and exciting at the same time. Need more. (ps, have always found the music to be just fine. Well placed.)
Yeah, like others posting I'm just so sad to see (documentation of) this wonderful project to have stalled. I hope Kav is well in these tough times. Best wishes.
Another great video. You appear to be doing stock mods to bump up performance. Higher compression ratio, hotter custom cam, more air/fuel. It is the best way to get the power your want while maintaining the cars original character. If you really want to get the most out of your mods, you may want to consider port-matching and polishing your intake manifold. The new cam and increased air/fuel would significantly benefit from this mod. (especially with those high flow venturi) All the mods you're doing all come down to the intake manifold, which could end up being the choke point which limits the effectiveness of your upgrades. It's a little scary to do, but there is a lot of instruction how out there.
That's a very good reason to not do the port-matching. I don't know how good Porsche's castings were, but before you slap on the manifold, look inside and see if there are casting ridges or if the surface is highly textured. Smoothing down imperfections with a Dremel and sandpaper can't hurt and is by no means a drastic alteration like port-matching is. Looking forward to your next vid.
Five years you have been rebuilding your car? Wow! Did you ever think it would take this long? As many have mentioned, your attention to detail is like no other. Just wondering when you anticipate completion? Thank you for sharing your journey.
kavs911 saddly, this came from a barn and has been off the road since 93 and cyl 4 had a back fire or somthing , the shaft ( short) was bent and the butterfly , Venturi was melted, holds fine and lucky no need to ream
kavs911 I took them all the way down and hot tables and media blasted them ! I am also getting ready to pull the cams to reseal the cam bridge.. I got that stomski tool , not cheap but looked good
Thanks for a great video. I’ve just bought a Porsche 911T Targa from 1971 and shall start renovating the carburetor. What parts di I have to change to get it to an S model?
Beautiful presentation... Beautiful Porsche... where is the Porsche located for the beginning shot? Is that Mt Tam in the background? Please post info... thanx...
Thanks for a great video. Got a 66 911. Any advice on popping and clicking in the low to mid range? Worse when cold and in traffic, fine at idle and on the freeway. Also suffering from a bog and stall after waiting at stoplights. I try to pick up the idle early,rev it a few times but it's stumbling and flames out. Then it's a pain to start and flooded. This is worse when cold and gets better sometimes when warm but it can happen anytime. In fact any time you stomp the throttle it may flame out. Still has a coil and a mechanic suggests MSD. The rear trailing arm bushings are worn and squeaking and doesn't seem to be an ez fix. It's sweet and livable in the mountains and freeways but falls on it's face in the real world. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I gave you a subscribe if that's worth something 😜.
Where do you get you rebuild kits and parts from? I just acquired a 67 911T that I’m thinking seriously about restoring depending on cost of restoring the engine. Building on a shoestring budget
Looks faboulos jewelry! So you already had these carbs on your car although is a T...but why weber on S specs? You upgraded heads, ports and cams to S specs on your engine?
These are the carbs my car came with from the factory. I'm upgrading the jetting and chokes to what is recommend for my higher compression ratio and e cam.
I know it would remove authenticity but for that amount of work and expense, I would have fitted aftermarket fuel injection while retaining nearly the same appearance, along with electronic spark control, and made it a far better car to drive, as well as less polluting. Another benefit will be reduced maintenance and greater engine longevity because of more accurate metering of fuel. As much as Webers were the duck's nuts in their day, that was then.
This not your typical project my friend. This man has been rebuilding his engine for some time. He is doing everything properly and to make these videos it also takes time.
@@kavs911 Just double checking... Nice. Now I can sleep tonight. whew... just the thought of a fresh 911 engine with rebuilt carbs running with overfilled float chambers can wreak havoc on quality rest. Good Luck with the final push!
You keep saying chokes in place of venturies. A choke is a device that restricts the air flow into the carb causing a rich condition. It is used when the engine is cold and then opens up as the engine warms up. A venturi is a double tapered cylinder with no moving parts that increases the velocity of of the fluid passing through it creating a low pressure area after the narrow point. This is used in a carb to pull the fuel into the air flow creating the air/fuel mixture.
The constricted section of the tube in the venturi system is called the choke. 'Choke' has been used to refer to both the section of tubing, and the enrichment device. ZS named the carburettors 150, 175 etc for the size of the fixed choke tube design, 1.5 inches or 1.75 inches in diameter.
I'm enjoying your videos, but have you considered ditching the music? Your technical content and narration are superb, and the music is an annoying distraction (in my opinion). I find myself constantly adjusting the volume or just muting and missing half of what you're saying. Take a look at Jethro Bronner's channel as an example - he has a similar calm, meticulous approach, no music, and his videos are spectacular.
Thanks for a great video. I’ve just bought a Porsche 911T Targa from 1971 and shall start renovating the carburetor. What parts di I have to change to get it to an S model?

It's really amazing how someone originally came up with making these carburators.Thankyou for taking the time showing step by step process.
Come on, we need some more please.
Coming!
Watched the entire series of the 911t today with my dad. We love the work you are doing, amazing job. Greatings from the netherlands!
Hi from California!! Thanks to you and your Dad for watching!
Deeply satisfying to watch!
Thanks Sam.

I get super excited every-time you post. Top notch restoration.
Thanks Roger!

love this channel and your work.
Thanks Kirk!
Beautiful work.
Nice hand work. Cheers, Mark
A brilliant transformation from gunk deposits to beautiful pieces of mecanical art. I must say that was very well done!
Thanks Anders!

Before and after shots were fantastic. Really beautiful rebuild. Delightful to watch!
Thanks Edmund!
Superb video series. Well presented & very informative. I'm hooked !
Thanks Alex!
Looks great, can’t wait to hear the engine roar...
Glad to have you back @kavs911
Look forward to seeing even more!
danny thanks!
Great job man
Kav the magician. Never disappoints. Always top notch.
Hahaha! Thanks!
great vid, can wait to see them on the engine
Great to see some real love going into this engine re-build.
Is love the same as money?
excellent job.
outstanding!!!
Faszinierend!
Very nice
Nice Job Paul! your work is always so impressive!!!
Thanks Mike! That's praise indeed coming from the master!
Excellent video :)
Thanks Mike! Love your work too!
Awesome job- Now to make them run cleanly and keep them running cleanly! Mine did my head in -and I only had four barrels to tune.
Thanks! I imagine this is going to get ugly!
Best wishes Kav, hope you're safe and well. Looking forwards to whatever / whenever you post next.
Thanks Gavin!
This is why youtube exists. Looking good!
I'm thinking that, compared to what's next, this was the easy part - best wishes for the upcoming balancing/tuning phase!

I did think about that but as this is the matching numbers engine I thought I'd try nothing that can't be undone and go back to stock.

Greetings from Germany!!
Frozzzzennnnnnn Hallo!!
Great vid , I am doing the same and it’s been great to see
Good luck Fred! Don't touch the throttle shafts if you don't have too!

Have u thought about purchasing an ultra sonic cleaner? It looks the bee's knees for that sort of thing. Cheers!
ultra-sonic cleaner
Beautiful presentation... Beautiful Porsche... where is the Porsche located for the beginning shot? Is that Mt Tam in the background? Please post info... thanx...
👍
you replated the mixture screws? How do the threads fit?
Kav, also checking in on progress. Are you back on the road, enjoying yourself, so no time to post? Looking forward to seeing the final build.
I am but more videos to come!

be ready to tweak the accel. pumps
with this much detail of cleaning, and how the carbs looked before hand, i would of cleaned out the "hidden fuel gallery" as well.
I may do that in the future or test them anyways.
Beautiful carbs, and yes a shame to cover them up agreed.

get a clear lexan cover for the air cleaner
Wonder if he ever got this thing running, been waiting for an update for sooooooooo long.
Yeah. It's sad. Had been such a great series.
I hope everything is OK with you Kav. Best wishes.
Coming soon!
Where did you buy your parts and rebuild kit? I have a set of Webber 40 DCN 14 for my Porsche 356.
Parts Klassik
Did you ever finish this project? Was waiting for the next video.
More videos to come!
should you take the thickness of the straight edge into account when checking that float hight?
Yes I did thanks! It’s in the video!
"crush washer"

Frank Collins have you ever looked at fuel injection costs for an air cooled 911. This is cheaper by miles
That would be quite the investment! I can't run fuel injection on this older 911 engine.
Where are you?
Do we get to see the engine run?
This not your typical project my friend. This man has been rebuilding his engine for some time. He is doing everything properly and to make these videos it also takes time.
you forgot to subtract the thickness of the ruler when you checked the 18mm float level, sir
Hey Damon, if you watch again I measure the 18mm plus the 0.8 for the thickness of the straight edge.
@@kavs911 Just double checking... Nice. Now I can sleep tonight. whew... just the thought of a fresh 911 engine with rebuilt carbs running with overfilled float chambers can wreak havoc on quality rest. Good Luck with the final push!
@@voltairegoethe Thanks Damon!
I have tried this and have 13 extra parts....!
Haha 😂

Seems like things have come to a standstill on this rebuild .....
Going again!
