Weber 40 DCOE 149 Saga

It's good to work on the Lotus again.

The Weber 40 DCOE 149s are strange animals. The auxiliary venturis & chokes are held in place with brass tubes running from the top, through the body, into the mouths. This locking system is not used on any other models of this carburetor, and there is no information available on the Internet.

After hours of frustration, I found the secret: to change the chokes and venturis, you must "pop the top." Once you figure this out, the tubes clear the inlets and everything comes apart easily.

Many thanks to Gordon Raymond for the help and advice.
