Well i picked up a weber for 40 bucks over the weekend. Its amost new and in great shape. Just wanted to know if anyone had any pointers when installing. Anything to look out for ? I have replaced the stock one before and it was not bad so i know this has to be pretty easy.Any advice will help .Thanks

first problem I see, has the wrong throttle linkage on it. Kinda looks like a knockoff weber too.

PriME87yota

Well the guy had the throttle rigged up so i ordered the adapter kit for throttle, and a new adapter plate and manual choke kit should be in bye weekend or next week. I belive its a real weber says made in spain, and has weber all over it. Who makes the knock off weber?

Here a few more pics. Dang xtreme u got me worried its a knock off . ima be mad if it is.

xxxtreme22r

PriME87yota

i just installed a 32/36 last week on my 82. i love it, except its running really rich. i have yet to install a fuel regulator tho, i dont know if thats causing me to run so rich or not.

PriME87yota

Do you need to run a regulator? i didnt think the weber needed anymore gas than the stock one? What fuel pressure does the stock use? And what pressure does the weber need?:wabbit:

WhiteKnight

i was told to run the weber at around 3 psi. i think the stock mech pump puts out around 8.

shouldnt be that hard the coke itself removes pretty easy. the trick is getting it adjusted right.

FYI, there isn't many of us running them, and those that are don't know carbs all that well.

yup this is true. I have mine set at 4psi through a holley regulator though. but I run it at 1.5-2psi when off-roading.

have you followed the weber tuning to a tee. ie set the idle screw to 1-1/2 turns in from contact and the idle mixture screw to 2 and then follow the procedure?

WhiteKnight

No, i havent tried to tune it just yet. i dont have much confidence in myself when it comes to carb tuning lol.

xxxtreme22r

tuning a weber IMO is much easier than an aisin.

xxxtreme22r

follow this to a tee.

thanks for that link. ill see what i can do lol.

p.s. DO NOT adjust the idle until the mixture screw is fully adjusted. this is important. even if it has a difficult time idling. make sure your timing is set at 0 degrees with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged (the hose not nec to block off the distributor side) before you start. also important. After you check and adjust your timing then re attach the vacuum hose to the distributor.

Well i dont know what to do, stay manual or get the electric? im sure the electric would be nice when its cold out. I guess ima see if i still have a regulator laying around from an old mustang i had. im supprised the weber needs less pressure than the stock carb . Extreme .. Why do you turn down the pressure when offroad?lol . Thats prolly a noob question . Had to ask neways....
