So my practically brand new Weber 32/36 (ok, it's about a year old) started dumping fuel down the primary side. The intarwebs told me to check the power valve. When it took the valve off, I discovered a special extra bonus included in the purchase price of the carb - metal shavings!  When I blew some air back through the vacuum passage with an air gun, sure enough, one more little fella flew out. Flooding problem solved. So I guess now we have to disassemble our brand-new carbs before we install them. 

Sad, seemingly poor (if any) quality control like many other products of nowadays.

wow, that's a helluva surprise.

That's gorgeous. Wonder how many got sucked through the main jet?

Was that one made in Italy, or, elsewhere...?

I think manufacturing shifted to Spain years ago. Your complaint also rumoured to be found in British manufacturing in the 70's

Try having several THOUSAND rear differentials go out because the manufacturer forgot to clean them out. These things should NOT happen.

id contact RedLine and send them your picture. maybe have them rebuild it, or pay for your rebuild.
