48 IDA Webers question ?

[Frenchy Dehoux]

      I have a pair of 48 IDA'S and they have an " 0 " ring for the fuel nozzles to seat in the main body. Other than my other two pairs of IDA'S they have a small copper gasket under the nozzles to seat them. How new are these 48 or are they an old style. I know that there are IDA'S made in Spain and Italy .

     Thanks

Hi Frenchy, a friend of mine has a pair of Italian IDA's with O-Ring squirters also. They work very good. I talkted to Mark at Bergs about it and says there were some like that, forget if he said if they were the later ones before the Spanish ones came out, I would think so. I have a set of Spanish ones and they have the push-in ones. My other two sets of Italian Ida's have the cooper washer screw type. Give Mark a call, he can give you a better answer.

If you look at the flange, you will see the model number stamped into it.  Yours will be 48IDA4R.
I believe the IDAs from the late 70s onward had the O-ring squirters.
And that the final Italian ones had 3 progression holes stock.  Do yours?  I have only seen one carb (NOS in the box) with 3 holes from Weber.

Say Bruce, is there more value to those with the 3-hole from Weber? A better carb?

Here I found this on the Weber website....Note  what it says about the pump jets !

Frenchy  ...I also am looking for a set of O-rings for my carbs From my understanding Ted went to Bergs 2 days ago and they didn't have any ,But were gonna order some from Weber

[DKK Ted]

Ok, talked to Alister, said Tim is waiting for call back on the O-rings. Hopefuly will be in when I go down there tonight. I asume will have more too so Frenchy can get his also. I'm sure Tim will make sure on that.   Ted

Have you tried your local hydraulic equipment store.  The o-rings are in stock and cost pennies each.

[DKK Ted]

Well, I got 2 sets of O-rings, a set for me and a set for my buddy, there is 1 set left. Tim only ordered 12 O-rings (3-sets), but reminded him the Frenchy also needed a set. so I think he is holding that set for Frenchy. Good idea Bruce, with the O-rings I have, can match'em up and buy more, alot more.
