i hate carburetors


Recommended Posts

I take it that your working on a weber?

If the idle speed screw is not providing a response, the carb is running too rich. Is the leak external or internal? It sounds like it's internal(leaking into the engine).

I have found that most of the companies that sell Webers, just sell them and don't have any real knowledge of how to set them up or adjust them. Get a rebuild kit, or wing it and just take it apart to fix the leak. Probably the main center gasket.

Is the carb new? Maybe it wasn't put together correctly. If so, try to return it for a new one.

no im working with the stupid hitachi and i need a weber...almost gots the money:rolleyes:

 

That´s Why... Trully I Hate Craptachi Carbs too... :-\ ...Well a Weber is Light Years Away in Simplicity and Goodness from the Hitachi... but be Careful with your State´s Law ´bout Smog...

Spfi is a Good Choice too... I Choose Weber ´cos I wanted to keep things Simple...

Maybe You can obtain a Good Used Weber from a Junk Yard...

Good Luck! :)

If you have the money for a weber from them, go get an SPFI setup. You won't regret it ;)

Don't sell yourself too short, 90% of being able to do it is having the guts to jump in.

 

However, half of the remaining 10% IS having experience, and the other half is having people around to help you... if you are fifteen, and have no family into cars at all, then the fact that you've made it this far is impressive enough.

 

Don't forget that wou can obtain all of your parts, and then spend 20 minutes a day slowly and carefully putting your wiring harness in the right shape, if you want. GD made that write up with the idea of making the entire project low-impact...

I've had 7 EA82's with Hitachi's and I can tell you my first experience with SPFI made a believer out of me!

EVERYTHING is better, starts, accelleration, mileage, and a nice rock solid smooth idle.

If you get the stuff to do whichever swap or just any work on your wagon, give me a call and I'll come help you out. I may not have done everything, but I have been able to do quite a bit without any experience. First time doing timing belts, clutch, wheel bearings, etc was done on my wagon and she's still purring like a kitten and drives awesome.
