Continuing. From the "while I'm at it idea", Weber carb rebuilds.
I did have an occasional flooding carb and backfire, so decided time was right to go thru all 4. Suppliers are asking up to 60 bucks per carb rebuild kit, but Dennis McCann parts in Ohio had a kit that does all 4 for $50. Added to that new base gaskets that were not in the kit and still waaaay ahead.
Did all 4 disassembly, clean, reassemble tasks last night. Will start remounting next.

Bill... You da man! Most Ferrari owners just whip out their checkbook when it comes time for service... Glad to see you working on yours!

Bill always amazes me 
my idea of cleaning a carb is just to spray some carb cleaner in it
