Thanks Steve. Yes, you can easily use the wrong gasket. The carbs were also used on Mercedes and Unimog and those set ups are different than what Zenith did for BMW. If it were me and I had to get it going: 1. The original gasket- Phenolic had paper gaskets shellaced to either side. DQ- look...

Please note that the base section gasket if over/ under tightened, misaligned, etc, will cause your symptom. It is the vacuum source for the idle circuit that pulls the fuel. Idle valves are snug. Do not over tighten. This will cut off flow. It won't matter what you do to the idle screw if...

I have what your criteria describes. Known to Houston members, currently in Dallas. Private message only please.

A small open end wrench, Spray the ball with penetrating fluid first. They all have clips, internal to the socket. It is suggested that you check them all and regrease them. Good time to check the measurements for lost motion. There's a diagram with measurements in the repair manuals.

I have a core. 1 crack. Free for a donation to the site. PM me if you want.

Perhaps this helps.... http://www.delockandkey.com/bmwdippage.htm Since I think you're describing a lock that won't turn.. it is perhaps dirty. Carb cleaner, something without much residue.

Tighten the inlet needle. Or test as described in the workshop manual. Pinch the fuel line to see if the needle holds pressure. Snug and a little bit more. It has to be tight or it will leak. 2.Sounds like your fuel level is high, so try a thicker gasket on the fuel inlet which controls the...

Ummm errr... I beg your pardon. Karman made both.

don't shoot the messenger...... http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5634289996.html "needs paint".

Well... Houston is a big place. What part of town? http://www.classiccarsofhouston.com/gallery/1972-bmw-3-0cs/ Then there's F2... out west Memorial. He's a long time BMW guy. Fernando. The Woodlands/ Spring area- check with Drew- Lexus body shop did John's coupe. Couple of places...

SU's can be tuned. The factory did. The needle needs to be marked in 1/8" increments. Likewise the piston needs to be measured. Both positions are relative to vacuum and rpm. Yes, vacuum, so you need a gauge and a way to observe the location of the piston. Dyno, go cam, etc. Once you can...

I'm in for a set. Looks good from Texas.

I'm in the market for an 02. Private sale preferred by individual pls.

If I were betting... on a cross reference- vw karman ghia used the same. $30 bucks or less new.

+1 on ditching the square Facet pump. And regulator. Noisy as hell too. Good for a primer only maybe, mounted by the spare tire. That pump has left many scratching their heads when tuning. The Carter 4070 is high volume , low pressure. No regulator required for multiple carbs. I suggest...

Well you opened up the carb to clean and the gaskets were inferior .IIRC. What that means is that the gasket over the float is probably slightly larger not letting the float come down. The tolerance is close even on a proper gasket. Just pop the top and trim the gasket is my...

Still shows up as a good part number two parts numbers though. One for manual, one for automatic. Shows up in fuel injection parts. BMW of South Atlanta. $70 ish.

The former or 22+mm is the latest version shown in the bluebook technical section. Presumably, when the rear caliper pistons increased in size. But that's my best guess.
