The master Weber 32/36 thread ,pics etc

I think something like this topic is missing in here for those curious about the Webers being used on Subes (not for highway use of course unless approved by the authorities)
I was curious as to how to access the jets that are being swapped about for tuning purposes by people, got a description - thought pics would be good for others not in the know.
I was pleased to find things a bit different to Holleys that needed a new fuel bowl gasket each time
Thread under construction......
Where do I think the jets are now ???
Now that I see the little brass plug, uses a perishing o-ring as a seal too.
Jet sizes are stamped on jets themselves in almost magnifying glass size numbers.These are 50 and 55 in this carby, yet to confirm which is which as in primary or secondary. Room for a double accelerator pump ??

The next thing people fiddle with and change, are the air bleed jets seen as a pair of brass tops ( ~ 2/3 rds way down pic). I have attempted to remove with straight blade screwdriver, managed to undo and have it tumble about down there in the orifice but won't just fall out of there. Must need to have the top section removed ?

A shame there were no aftermarket inlet manifolds as there were for so many other cars, such as this fire breathing Pierce number

With some light adjustments in Picasa, we can now see a manual choke variety, and is that an idle mixture screw ?
The other sides jet behind similar brass plug, well not actually behind, these are the jets screw head.
Accelerator pump housing, and likely a rotting diaphragm inside

The filter side of the black plastic PCV breather hose connection is partially blocked by the filter, looks like a factory afterthought.
