ok, so i went to the weber website and looked up the float level settings for my 44 IDFs ...
10mm closed and 32.5mm open my carbs were pretty off, one side was 10mm closed and 25mm open, the other side was 8mm closed and 23mm open ... i just finished rebuilding the carbs and i did set the levels to weber specs, will that make a huge difference in how they work or not?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) yes it will----webbers are very discriminate to float levels vs. lean / rich out da jets
What they are shooting for is that as the engine runs, the float will always be allowing fuel ( on level ground, no bumps to upset the float from sloshing fuel ) to flow and stay as close to a particular level as possible. Remember to have no more than 3.5 psi and no less than 2.5 for your thirsty power mad engine to run at a stoichiometric setting ( or as close as possible ). An engine running with level too high will richen the mixture when on the main jet, too low and the opposite results--they can be cantakerous with this respect--and this is a number one reason why some people have so much trouble getting them set up properly and engine running right-- |
