hatchsub Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I've heard a lot of good about the weber carbs but i want to ask your opinion. Im thinking about putting one on my EA-81. Will it make a big difference in the way the car accelerate? Will it cure my cold engine hessitation? Is it clear how to hook up all those damn hoses under the hood to the new carb?

RavenTBK Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Do it. You wont be disappointed. They're a biatch to tune, but when they're right, boy they're right. My 32/36DGEV rocks.. if I ever part with my Brat, the Weber stays with me to go onto the next roo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Yes, they are very good. It's not bad to install and the vacume hose mess disappears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karinvail Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Is there a noticable improvement in performance with the weber carb? how much does it cost? Does it improve fuel economy? My wagon is only getting 22-23 MPG's and I sure miss the 30MPG's that the EA81's were giving me the last 10 years! Edit: can someone tell if this is the correct carb or not? http://www.stoveboltengineco.com/acartpro/product.asp?productid=95 it doesn't say what model/size it is, so didn't know. For $65 vs. what I'm seeing them go for on ebay, etc. - good deal if it's the right one...... Or http://www.stoveboltengineco.com/acartpro/product.asp?productid=97 Or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7969644177&category=33550 ???????

the sucker king Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 car will run smoother. choke problems dissapear, more power, mileage will be better or remain the same, most of those hoses don't need to be hooked up, you will just take them off. it will sound better and look cool. what else? do it.

bratman2 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Had the Weber on my Brat for 3.5 years now and it really does simplify life, you can actually see all of the motor now. Just took my 195/75/14 allterrains off two tanks ago and installed a pair of 195/70/13s that I had in the barn to check mpg with the odometer reading right for a change, 29.5 mpg average between two tanks of gas. The Weber really adds good bottom end power to my Brat, I would say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karinvail Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 looks like I'll have to save up for one - they are a spendy unit! And one if I sold the car would stay with me! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
