Basic Weber DGV Question

[ksbeta]

Good Morning All,

Picked up another 240z which came installed with Weber DGV's. I'll be having a motor built this Fall for it, which I'll pair with a set of triples, but for now I'd like to get the car back to running as-is. The car has not run since 2000. Aside from all the 'basic' tune-up stuff already done, I'm unacquainted with the DGV's. I've done quite a bit of reading on here, but my question is a bit more basic:

I didn't get a chance to look into this too much last weekend - it's tomorrow's project. When I move the throttle linkage at the firewall, the butterflies on top of the carbs don't budge. Do these require engine vacuum or something to move? The motor is un-molested, and nothing appears to be missing or stuck.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Remove carbs and soak in a bucket of carb cleaner for a few days.

Those are chokes for cold starting. They won't move until the engine is warm

Thank you both. Up and running.
