Can someone tell me the proper jet/emulsion tube sizes for Weber 40's on a near stock 2.0 (has "carb" cam but don't know specs)? So far I have only checked the idle jets and they are 45's. The engine runs OK but I think it could be better. There is a bit of a stumble at slack throttle around 3000 rpm. I think that is about the point of transition from idle circuit to main circuit. Any suggestions out there?

I have a 74 2056 with a Pertronix and Crane Hi-6 ignition and 40IDF's. I'm running 28 mm venturies, 0.45 Idle's, 120 Mains, 200 Air Correction's and F11 Emulsion Tubes. Remember, the idle jet also controls most of your low to mid range mixture. The mixture at static idle is adjusted by the mixture screws and almost any jet will give you an acceptable static idle. As you come off idle and run up to 2800-3000 RPM the idle jet feeds the transition circuit and this is where the jet size selection comes into play.
When I was first researching the car, I checked with several Weber parts houses, and they all said to get a multi-spark CD igintion before starting to adjust jet sizes. Harvey |
