Grisezd Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I ordered a Weber 32/36 kit for my brat from Europarts on Sunday and got it on Wednesday. Came with the rectangular filter and the adapter kit and a few sheets of instructions. It also came with a sheet with their phone number, asking me to call with questions. Kit is WK730, $300 free ship. I'd put one on a Renault before, so was sure I wouldn't need the phone number. Then I saw that the fuel inlet faced forward as did the cable pull. I was pretty sure I could just swap the fuel inlet but I wasn't stoked about making a new bracket and longer cable, so before I started cutting and bending metal I gave them a call. Had to leave a message, they called right back. Confirmed that the inlet could be switched with the plug on the other side. It surprised them that I couldn't use the stock cable stop bracket, apparently nobody had ever complained about it. They promised to send a handful of different brackets, asked me to let them know which works. No charge! Two boxes are on the way. Awesome. I made up a new cable from parts and wait. I installed the carb without cable and fired the car up. Idles great out of the box and revs great. I could have saved a few bucks piecing a kit together and buying a used carb. But knowing it would be jetted close off the bat and especially with great service it was worth it to me! I'll report back with the PN of the bracket that works.

Grisezd Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 One box had the bracket I needed, the other box had a carb meant for somebody else! Whatever. After a couple of tries I have a cable that works great, car that starts, idles, and pulls pretty hard for its size! Stoked. I have a little gas dripping from the secondary venturi onto the butterfly. Might that be too much fuel pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The simplest way to use the Weber is by using the Hitachi throttle lever pulley. It's a straight swap for the Weber pulley and allows use of the Subaru throttle cable and cable bracket. Was this not possible with your install?

Grisezd Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 The carb would only fit one way, with the fuel inlet on the right side of the car and the cable on the left. The other way around the choke hit the distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
