Rapier, hi there.
Yes u are right, I have had an occasion wen the webers went 'wonky' on me. ..over feuling the cylinders and eventually causing a 'oil wash away' & re-build, but it was my fault for spotting it so late...the carb bodies do wear causing slop / gaps twixt the choke-tubes and bodies, messing evrything up. However, a quick-fix popp-in of an appropreat sized O ring in a grove between the two, sealed it all up tight with out having to replace anything....This was not on my Pantera but my son's racing Golf Mk1 with DCOEs like yours and since there were very few parts available for Webers then, (not now thk goodness ) we went that route...yea, my IDA's are about as old as your Rapier's DCOE's, and no trouble so far. But as the man says .... we dont live in N.Y. ( I did for 3yrs and know what he means...) almost as bad as your weather hey in the UK...Boy I love South Africa....
