Ok I'm looking at the Weber, removed the three screws on top , two in front in in the rear, which I think should remove the top of the carburator so I can get into the float bowl, but it is solid. Do I have to remove from bike to take it apart?

There are four screws on the top of the carburetor, one at the back center, one at the left front, and two at the right front, one of them in front of the fuel inlet, one of them behind the fuel inlet. You may have to lightly tap the cover to loosen it once the screws are removed, depending on how long it has been since it was previously dis-assembled.

There is a download on this web site of an exploded view of the 44 DCNF carb, which will help you to see where all the parts are.

Good Luck!

Ok I must have missed on of the right fronts.
Small world. I'm working in Windsor above Webster bank today.
Thanks

Looks great, will not run. Was off the road for three years. Was well taken care of.

If you run some SeaFoam through the tank of fresh gas, you might be surprised that it cleans up within a few days and straightens out. I've had it work on a couple occassions for me. Once, the pump was gunked up so much it would not run. A couple days soak with fresh gas and some SeaFoam worked. Nice bike!

If however you see any crud in the tank, rust, water, algae in the fuel filter, or what not, then a teardown may be in order.

First thing i did. Sea foam somtimes works really well.

Your hurting my eyes seeing the bodywork hanging like that! You will get cracks if you do that for too long or too much.

Clean looking bike. There are some upgrades that you can make. Just go thru the FAQ and see what needs to be done. Belts need to be replaced if they are old. It's a cheap and easy fix.

Get busy on that Guzzi!

Thanks for the heads up on the body work. Found a lot of info here.
Did have it running a little better, but still needs a little choke to keep running, will stall when giving it gas and spits and sputters out of the right barrel and I mean spits.
Was not really in the market for another bike, been trying to get the LeMans back together, then along comes this Ducati, I always wanted to try a Ducati. Hopefully I can get the Paso running without to much effort. At least it was not in a fire like the LeMans was.

The weber is pretty much crap ( some disagree) so it must be clean and tuned very well to run decent. It will still have flat spots and may run bad at certain RPM. Clean the shite out of it and then set it up as best you can. There is a big thread in the FAQ about the weber.
