I googled the numbers and came up with weber... 32/36 DFAV is the model number. Looks like they still sell parts for it too.

Interesting, I thought the DGAV was a water heated choke version of the progressive Weber? You normally see the DFEV/DGEV model with electric choke used on acvws since we don't have hot water to heat the choke.

I hope you have a functional heart riser system to warm up the intake.

I wonder, does it have a manual choke hooked up (not likely, never seen one with a cable that long) is it wired open or just plain removed? Hard to keep running when cold I bet...

It has yet to fail me yet. Has never stalled, runs like a top. I'm trying to figure out what I have that the PO pieced together. Then again it doesn't get too cold in South Carolina. Maybe low to mid 40's in winter. But she's mine and I love her. Thanks for the info once again guys. Samba kicks ass

That is a Weber DFAV. It is a mirrored DGAV carb. The "A" denoted manual choke. If it was electric choke then it would be a DFEV. I personally think these are great carbs once you get them dialed in right and don't have too much fuel PSI.
