Pierburg 2E3 Rebuild and Adjustments Video

Post by jamesakers »

I've put together a video where I rebuild a Pierburg 2E3 with the Brickwerks kit and make the necessary adjustments. I go through the rebuild in real time and try to explain what each bit does so it's quite lengthy (43 minutes!).

Thanks to CJH for his PDF guide and all the posts by other forum users (itchy, kev etc) on this type of carb, it has really helped me understand how it all works.

It's my first attempt doing a video like this, hope it's useful!

Hope it's useful. I'm working on the refitting and adjusting one, it's taking a few weekends as the weather is miserable.
