    Wow! Congratulations Mike. At first I regretted selling the Webers on my porsche, but I didn't have the confidence to achieve this level of fine tuning. Glad you have an expert like Kurt to turn to, and must say, that engine test stand is awesome!

      Hello John thanks
      Yes it sure is great having Kurt work with us. It's wonderful to be able to share all these things with confidence.
      I would love to have his engine stand!! What a great tool=)
      Cheers!

    Love the progress! Agree that non-visible parts like those should be replaced because safety is priority one.

      Thanks Jeff
      Yes the new style plastic floats have a safety tab that prevents them from sticking at the bottom. The old style brass floats do not. They obviously had many problems with them over the years. With modern fuels and quick evaporation rates I can see we would definitely have sticking and flooding problems as the carbs evaporate and dry out.
      Cheers!

    Can carbs be sent to Kurt to be set up? Does he also do the proper jetting for your application. If so how do I get his contact information? Great video. I have to Porsches running Webers and I don't think either is properly jetted and I am not having much luck finding good information, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    • @MikesRestorations

      Hello mikl911
      That would be a question for Kurt..There is a link to his website in the description box.
      Perhaps you could reach out to him and see if he could help you. I know his business model has changed over the years and we are very lucky for him to work with us on this project as an exception.
      He might make an exception for you
      Its worth a try!
      Good Luck!

    Great testing and tuning. Is that also a 2 L engine?

    • @MikesRestorations
      @MikesRestorations  2 года назад

      Thanks Tom, I don't think its a 2L although it is a 2.0. I think 2 L was 68??
