Well I tore down the carbs, ther was some junk in it even though it was recently rebuilt by PO, Well it is a 2.0 with a mild cam And it has 1.7 heads, I havent ordered the "tech" book yet. should I get the weber tech book or the haynes weber book? but I think the only thing I need to use the book for is setting the float level... are there any other tricks in the book? So when I order the rebuild kit I want to make sure I have the necessary jets if they need to be changed.. the car ran a little rich, but who knows if the air jets were clogged throwing off the mix... so it currently has on the main jets stacks in the top of the carb the body says 200( Air i assume) then the tip says GMCI 130, Then on the side of the carb (the idle jets I assume) say 50 .... So what do you guys think I should be running? where is the best place to get the stuff???

200/F11/130 will get "it" running. Then you need to drive it to get "it" right.

If you have it apart, make sure the floats are set right. If the floats are off, it will affect the emulsion tube transfer from idle to progression to power circuits.

You don't need special tools if you have a metric ruler. If not 10 mm is @ .39 inches. Use the back side of your calipers.

Your jetting is in the ballpark. With the F11 you have to get your float level right. If you set it low you'll have lean transition issues.

Get the weber tech book. There is a ton of information in there that i very handy when you are learning about carbs. Also, there are more parts to your jet stack.

this thread has all the bits exploded so you can see where they hide.

The carb tech articles on this site are pretty good: http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles.htm

I'd pass on the Weber Tech Manual - IMHO, it's outdated and has incorrect information (like setting the float heights!!). There are some nice diagrams and illustrations, but I've found it of limited use.

Jetting is directly impacted by venturi size more than anything else. What size venturis are in the carbs?

For vents to 36mm the formula is vent diameter multiplied by 4 for the target sea level main jetting.

200 airs will run most combos well, the F11 is standard for a street engine and a 55 idle works every time...

everything is related to venturi diameter.

1 inlet valve was bad, it was totally clogged and stuck, we tore it up getting it out but at least it was clogged, so it was at least worth the trouble... venturi size is a 28 Am I headed in the right direction , I just want to order all parts at once, And where do I order from????? thanks Wayne

Aircooled.net usually has all the carb stuff you need.
As does Weber Carbs Direct (usually)
Jake might.
Ace (Art Threan's shop) does.
If you have local bug shops, they usually have the stuff too.

The 130's will be a bit too big for 28's. I assumed you had the standard 32's. It'll be rich, but it will run. 120's would be my best guess. With the F11 I like going a tad bigger on the mains for a better transition and then lean it up at higher velocities with the AC jet.

With the location you are in I'd say a 120 would be good as well.. Here I optimize a 28 vent with a 115 main, but thats at 2,000'

130 is way too fat.. I use a 130 for 32-34mm vents
