Would anyone know the size of the jet used for the fuel mixture in a Weber 32/36 DFV carb? Mechanic working on my car cannot get the fuel mixture straightened out (too rich) and has suggested I order 3 progressively smaller jets for him to try. This doesn't sound too difficult, but I don't know the size I am starting with. If no one on the board knows, any suggestions on where I can find this info?
I know a single carb is not the ideal set up, but it's what I own at present. Thanks in advance for the help. |

Based upon the design, a single carb always runs rich, especially when the car is cold.
The distance of the runners allows the fuel/air mixture to separate and the fuel become heavier prior to entering the heads. This setup, while it works, is the worst setup for our cars. A set of dual carbs is much better. Ray Mital, rmital here has tweaked his setup and got it working to a tolerable level. Try sending him a pm here to see what he did. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) tough to setup because of length of intake and in cool weather 60 deg you can get frost on tubes temporary carb set up ! |

Although I'm considering changing it out, I have a single progressive with a modified air cleaner assembly that uses an HE for a heat riser.
