where can i buy a rebuild kit for a pierberg carb

also are there propper instructions for taking one appart

i've seen the exploded diagram in the wikki bit up top

i bought the bently manual as i figured that it would be in there, only to find it doesn't cover carbs
i don't remember it having much info in the haynes book,
what to do, the bus is not happy

I found this after a quick search,,,,,,

http://www.carburettorspecialists.com/

Let us know if they do have what they claim to keep on stock.

apparently Southern Carbs do them might have to do a search on web for their number, they're in Wimbledon area.

GSF and VW (who would have thought!!) do the carb rebiuld kits.....

but niether include new accel pump diaphragms

vw were the first place i called, i was told i could buy individual gaskets for the carb, but not a complete kit, and that the didn't do ALL the bits to make a complete kit

Well the bloomin do/did.. he dont know.. I have a vw kit sitting in my draw at home..

Aidan (or other) will be along in a min with a part number..

GSF do them and they include a few other bits as I think they are cover the different variations (other cars) IIRC they are gen Peirburg as well

You remember correctly Si ! The genuine kit covers VWs, Vauxhaul/GMs and probably a host of other slight variants.

i tried the place in the link posted by fritz, they do them £90, i have 2 kits from GSF there's not much in there for the money, certainly not a complete kit
i've yet to find a number for southern carbs to call them
looks like i might have to buy all the individual bits from VW

If you are thinking of spending 90 quid for a kit, have a butchers at this guy I found on E-bay.....after your last question on this subject...

I've got them on the shelf, I just don't seem to be able to remember to put them on the webshop.
In all fairness they ain't amazing but Pierburg have washed their hands of carburettors and you have to take what you can get,
Mine are Italian ones that I've never managed to get the float valve to work but the rest of the kit is fine, and like I say, beggars can't be choosers.
There are 2 different kits, to do with the size of the accelerator pump push rod, long and short.
I'll try to get them up in the next week or so as I will have internet back at home soon.

Oh, price was about £40 inc VAT if I remember right, but I will have to check..

so did you have the carb kits ?

I bought a carb rebuild kit recently from a company called Gower and Lee in Watford,there is a link on the wiki to them,about 37.00,genuine pierberg and comes with accellerator diaphram,there are 2 sizes of acc pump so you just need to remove and take a measurement.Gower and Lee also stock the other carb components,choke pull down etc.
