time for a weber if ya ask me ,   if memory servs me you can adjust that cold idle jet up, and the choke set screw, and the set your fast idle a bit slower

if its a 20R the carb is probably 24-25 years old now, so it might be time to rebuild.

ok im just woundering how much work a weber is to put in and what will i have to change how much time and$$ is it going to cost

[79coyotefrg]

adapter and all should be $350-400   LCENgineering is where i got mine, 

[kyle_22r]

not any more unless you find used.  new weber kits are hitting $500 now some places, being that the factory has been on strike nearly 3 years and the stocks of their carbs are getting depleted.  redline sells a new carb kit that isn't a weber but is supposedly good, no idea about them yet as to parts availability etc.

uuuummmmmmm, me thinks redline owns weber now..........

Holley bought out Weber, but the fact remains that the factory has been on steee-rike for many moons now...I don't know about regular carb kits, but there are noe more smog legal carb kits in the US...I've called everywhere from here in cali to NY trying to find one...

[Duffil]

if your gonna go efi go on and go 3rz

X2...I think you'd be much happier with the power of the 3RZ compared to the RE...even though it will cost more, if you're gonna do the swap, do it once.
