Do you have baffles?, Need to know pros and cons Options

[914 Paul]

I've been told lots of autocrossers with 914's use baffles in their carbs.
I have been asking around and have only had a reply form a person on the East coast. Is anyone using them on the West coast? If so what are the pros and cons? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

+I didn't realize that these were the carbs that you did, Brad. 914paul hasn't been very forthcomming with information....now I know why (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
He did do the intake boss, Tim....as I recall from pics he showed.

Mine are not done. If I were to do it, I would make the baffle a tad oversize and "spring" it into place & make it out of SS. Gas proof epoxy???dunno, I thought most of em' were.....but I've been wrong before. Howza bout JB weld?. Not the kind of thing to guess at, tho.

Failure of the epoxy could get messy should it get into the fuel passages.....high probability, I'm afeared.

Since I've never had a starvation problem, I haven't had to worry this install to death. As I said when this came up before, I "think" most of thses problems are a result of improper float settings. The guys that need to do this are track racers with losto grip that find themselves in a looong high G sweeper.....I have absolutely no facts to back that up, tho (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Webers in general:
It took me a year of dickin around to get mine set up ...I hate to say "right".....maybe "prettyfuckin'closeenuff". The final piece to the puzzle was the MDS ignition.
I never had to change jetting from the original BA set-up. All them little twisty thingys were the problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
