Dougs Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Recently rebuilt the carb and sorted out all my vacum leaks in manifold etc. Got the car up and running and she runs great now apart from strugling to idle cold. Found out that it was missing the fast idle lever and drop link which i got from america [couldnt get them here] but must be missing some kind of cam to push the lever. Its not on any of the exploded diagrams or parts list but i can see there is something there from some pics ive seen but to hard to make out. Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this and save me some time trying to make something up cheers Dougs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Look at these pictures, hope they help http://tekenaar.opelgt.com/Misc/carbs/3236baseportstxt.JPG http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm219/ddgonzal/sightings/forum/DGV_adjustements.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougs Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Cheers mate it does prove there is something there, cant quiet make it out though although i assume its some kind of cam shaped object. The problem i have is its a closed sided bush that it would go on so really not sure how to make one and i cant seem to find the part anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) What you want is the spindle. Check out item 27 in this drawing. The cam is part of the shaft!! http://www.webercarburetors.com/ppw/images/tech/38-dgas_parts_breakdown.gif Edited February 13, 2015 by Snowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 This is what you want.. http://www.webcon.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougs Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Cheers for looking mate. Don't think that's what I'm after though. Got that diagram and the part I'm looking for should be inside of no 40 on the back of the auto choke housing The second link just took me to webcon home page? Thanks for the help though Doug's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The part the activates the fast idle is a cam on the end of the throttle spindle. That is how it works. You put your foot down, the throttle spindle turns all the way, the cam on the end pushes the fast idle cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougs Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yes thats what activates it but there is nothing to keep it on.where the fast idle adjustment screw must go against some sort of cam otherwise there is nothing to hold the lever out cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
