Weber Jets, Chokes & Calibrated Parts

Upgrade your classic or performance vehicle with high quality, genuine Weber calibrated parts from our comprehensive range to help you fine-tune your carburettor for optimal performance, fuel efficiency and drivability. These include main jets, idle jets, air corrector jets, pump jets, emulsion tubes, needle valves and seats, chokes, choke venturis, auxiliary venturis, pump spill valves, pump rods and idle jet holders.

Our Range of Weber Calibrated Parts

Our Weber calibrated parts range covers every essential component for precise carburettor tuning and reliable engine performance.

  • Main jets are available in a wide selection of sizes. They are responsible for delivering the correct amount of fuel during mid to high RPM operation, ensuring your engine receives optimal fuelling under load.
  • Idle jets supply fuel at low engine speeds and part throttle, which is crucial in smooth idling and the transition to the primary circuit.
  • Air corrector jets meter the air mixed with fuel at higher RPMs, allowing fine adjustment of the air-fuel ratio for top-end performance, helping to prevent lean conditions at sustained high speeds.
  • Pump jets provide an extra burst of fuel during sharp throttle openings, eliminating flat spots and ensuring crisp throttle response; we offer multiple types and sizes for various Weber carburetor models, including replacements for discontinued types.
  • Emulsion tubes blend air and fuel to create an emulsion which is then fed through the idle and main jets into the engine. They are available in different sizes and types.
  • Needle valves regulate the incoming fuel flow and fuel volume coming into the carburetor. They also maintain stable fuel levels in the fuel chamber. They are available in different types and sizes.
  • Choke tubes, also known as venturis, are interchangeable inserts that control the velocity of air entering the carburettor, directly influencing fuel atomisation and engine response; we supply a wide range of sizes to match your engine’s specific needs. Not all Weber carburettors have the option of interchangeable chokes; some are permanently fixed.
  • Auxiliary venturis are smaller, secondary venturis positioned at the centre of the main venturi. Their main function is to accelerate airflow through the carburettor and create a strong local vacuum, which helps draw fuel from the float bowl into the airstream.
  • Pump spill valves regulate fuel transition between pump diaphragm or pump plunger and the pump jet.
  • Pump rods determine how much fuel is discharged from the pump jet. It is their operating length / stroke which determines the fuel volume.
  • Idle jet holders support the idle jet. Sometimes their function also involves emulsifying fuel with air, so can be considered as a calibrated part. Only a few Weber carburettors use these as a calibration part e.g. the Weber 48 IDA.

 

For convenience and comprehensive tuning, we also supply jet kits tailored for popular WEBER carburettor models such as DCOE, DGV, IDF and others. These kits contain a selection of main, idle, and air corrector jets to cover a range of tuning scenarios.

All our products are precisely calibrated for reliable performance that you can trust for both classic car restorations and high-performance engine builds.

 

Key features of Weber Calibrated Parts

Weber calibrated parts offer precision tuning, allowing you to tailor fuel delivery for every stage of engine operation, using a system of interchangeable jets and chokes (venturis). This means you can achieve optimal performance from idle to full throttle.

  • Precision Engineering: Weber jets are crafted with exacting standards to ensure consistent calibration and fuel delivery.
  • Versatility: suitable for various Weber carburettor models, including DCOE, DGAV, IDF, and more. Weber jets are often interchangeable between Weber carburettor models. Please check compatibility before purchasing.
  • Performance boost: improve throttle response and fuel efficiency with correctly calibrated jets.
  • Durability: made from high-quality materials.

 

No matter if you are restoring an old classic or building a race car, Weber offers a variety of calibrated parts which make it easy to adjust your carburettor(s) for any engine and driving situation. You can configure your carburettor with ease to match modifications, higher altitudes or different fuels.

With correctly sized calibrated parts, you will experience enhanced performance, including smooth transitions between idle, acceleration and cruising, while eliminating flat spots and maximising power output.

FAQs

What is the purpose of jets in a Weber carburettor?

Jets control the fuel delivered to the engine at different RPM and load conditions. Each circuit (idle, main, progression, accelerator) uses specific jets to ensure the correct fuel mixture throughout the rev range.

What does “choke” mean in Weber carburettors?

In Weber terminology, the “choke” can refer to the venturi - a (sometimes) removable insert that controls airflow speed and fuel atomisation. The correct choke size is essential for matching carburettor performance to engine needs.

Choke can also refer to the mechanism that helps an engine starts on a cold morning.

It is important to distinguish which ‘choke’ you are referring to because the two are very different parts and cannot interchange.

How do I know which jets or chokes I need?

The ideal sizes depend on engine displacement, modifications and usage (street, track, altitude). Many enthusiasts start with recommended base settings and fine-tune by reading spark plugs, monitoring performance and adjusting for smooth transitions between circuits.

Can I change jets and chokes myself?

Yes, Weber carburettors are designed for easy access to jets and chokes. Most adjustments can be done with basic tools, making it simple to optimise your setup for different conditions.

Some jet changes might require advanced mechanic expertise.

Do I need to re-jet for high altitude or engine modifications?

Yes, changes in altitude or significant engine upgrades (cams, exhaust, displacement) often require different jet sizes to maintain the correct air-fuel ratio. Weber jets are easily swapped to accommodate these changes.

Are these calibrated parts compatible with all Weber carburettor models?

We stock jets, chokes and needles for all popular Weber models, including DCOE, DGV, IDF and more. Some Weber jets are interchangeable between models so check your carburettor model and engine specs or contact us for expert advice.
