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. |

It actually is an option...
The motor is built for fuel injection, so the camshaft won't do better with carbs, it will do worse. But, a well setup set of dual carbs is much better than your single carb, they are easy to tune, and you can buy a kit from cb performance with everything you need. Now, once you see what that costs, fuel injection is not really that far out of an idea. Plenty of guys have used fuel injection parts here, or on ebay.... If fuel mileage is your number one concern, fuel injection is the best choice. You need to decide what you want from the car and head in that specific direction. Rich |
