Topic: Swapping Weber for stock carb

[oleblue22]

So I’ve had this Weber on my new Davez off road engine for about 3 months now. On flat ground this thing runs like a beast. I couldn’t be happier with it. Has more power and gets great mileage. On any sort of incline or creeping up an incline  or sometimes even looking at an incline the carb will not run correctly.

I’ve done the float mod and the other vent mod with no real results. I also have a regulator set to 2 psi. It helped but I’m still not happy with it. I never had any issues with my stock carb. Call me crazy but I’ll be swapping back to stock. Unfortunately I sold by original stock carb.

It’s a Weber 32/36 with less that 1,000 miles on it. If anyone has a running OEM stock carb they would like to trade we can make a deal.

I've got a running stock carb off my 85' I'll send your way if you pay the shipping. PM me for more

If for some reason this falls through I have one I'd be willing to swap as well.

For the longest time I couldn't figure out why everyone has such a hard time with angles using the Weber carb. Mine runs at any angle like it's fuel injected, well I haven't had it upside down.

Then I came across a old man from Washington who builds them and after talking to him I discovered I had his part of my carb that seals up the fuel bowl, he explained to me that the air correctors and the fuel bowl vent won't seal, the top piece is a straight line and the fuel bowl contours the air corrector ports. There is barely any gasket touching and no clamping force to be had. On top of that, I doubt that top plate is machined perfectly flat.

His solution was simple, he machined out a 1/8", maybe less, piece of aluminum and uses 2 gaskets. This seals the fuel bowl from the air correctors. I've been running it for years now and my carb idles just as good on the flat as it does climbing a 45 degree angle. I'm not sure why his product has been over looked. He said he tried to sell it to redline, but they thought he was stupid.

I don't think he makes them any more, but with that plate in between the 2 carb pieces, I've never had the slightest issues on any angles. I go up washed out service roads in the cascades, past 45 degrees, I get stuck, fall out of the truck getting out to run my winch. All the time I'm doing this, 22r is idling perfectly.

Hey Adam92...

THAT is a very hot tip!!

Fuel delivery for carb'd engines and steep angles has always been a pain in the arse to rectify!!

Thank you for sharing!
