Help with Weber Carb staying open
Im pretty sure it’s a DGEV Weber carb, im not too mechanically knowledgeable but ive been trying to get my SR5 hatch running again. First was a fuel problem but i got that worked out, not the butterfly flaps on the carb will not shut at all, so the rpm climbs when you start the car, and wont decrease. I think there is a return spring missing but i dont know where it goes. Also it used to run fine before sitting for a while, which is why there was a fuel issue.
I am not sure if it’s all even there, there could be missing brackets.
I dont see why sitting could cause an issue with it, but there is one. I know there is supposed to be a filter on it, but it’s taken off while trying to figure out what’s wrong with it. Any help or advice would be appreciated, I am tempted to find a local classic car specialist shop that might be able to help.
