Weber 45dcoe

Anybody got any pics or descriptions on how to tune this thing? I got it to idle...kind of... but anything more than that and it would die. I have absolutly no clue about this thing. Looking on how (where) to set the floats, where and how to find out what the jets are in it right now, and all the other little goodies.

Thanks.

depends on where u bought it, some places tune it for your area with the correct jets in it. i always was told, if you screw the 2 mixture screws all the way in, then back them out 3 turns, it runs a hell of a lot better, then work ur way from there

Buy the book which is great. Wish it had been available when I first started using the carb as we spent so much time trying to find the best settings for Lotus track cars..
