Looks like I will be entering the carb world with my next engine and I don't know anything about them beyond the very basics. All of the 914's I have owned have had d-jet.

Is there a thread or web site out there that explains carbs more in detail...types, sizes, parts, theory, etc?

Thanks

Carb basics. If you want to learn about them in more detail, we are going to need what kind of carb/s you will be running.

maybe it's just a view from the other side, but...

don't

do

it.

can't you build up around sds or something like that?

I could if my wallet was not so empty...

the engine is already coming with Italian Weber 40's so I figure use them for the time being

You can make more HP with carbs with a built engine than you can with stock injection. You can make HP cheaper with carbs than you can with A/M injection, especially if you agree to pay your self $1.00 an hour to get the inexpensive A/M injection working right. You can make as much or more HP with good A/M injection and have it run better for longer periods and start easier than with carbs.

buy the cb weber book and a STE (brand) syncronometer

When we get our cars together we can have a carb tuning party...
