I have a set of carbs I know nothing about. They have the Weber w marking on the carb it self but nothing else. The manifold has several markings. ( VW, OOOO, VARG, 2?V and 0401295262). Thanks for your time and help.

I'm betting that the "W" logo mean weber, like brazillian "baby webers,"
DFV 228

I was looking at the parts diagram. It is close to what I have not exact. My carb gas lever is part of the carb. Not like in the pic. I will get better pics tomorrow. Thanks for your time and help. What might they be worth?

the intakes look like they belong on whatever motor came with dual kadron/solex carbs due ot the chambe below the carb, so they would mate up with those carbs fine, although I see no port for an equalizer tube. is there a port or hole about 3/8 to half inch in diamter on them somewherE?

I took the carbs to work and put them in a tank of PD-680. It cleaned them up a little better. I was able to get the one apart. I took out a round piece that fits between the carb bowl and the butterfly valve. This piece is marked with a 28 which I guess it means the size of the carb. When I first looked at the carbs I thought there was only two parts. I was wrong, there is three. Here are a few more pics.

I do belive teh little ring is called a venturi or venturi ring, I could be mistaken. You can go bigger or smaller to match the motor it is going on.

I was going to put them on my current project , but decided to go with a single web 40 instead. I was cleaning them up to turn them into book end. I have been asked what I want for them. I just not sure what to ask for them. They need to be rebuilt and personally if some one could use them I would be happier. Thnaks for your time and help.
