I posted something about carbs a while back. Im running a weber setup on my 91 fc. Just curious onwhat other setups people are running with webers. Jetting, venturi, distributor, ignition all that awesome stuff. Mines a little touchy cant seem to get it to run quite right.

 

it would probably be more helpful if you posted yours. also share what timing you're running and your exhaust.

although you have a Gen II, you should probably look through the Gen I section of the board. many more guys run Webers there than the other sections.

 

i can't edit in this section ....

anyway, i just decided to move the whole thread rather than have you start a new one for the same thing. once you post how your carbie is currently set up, you should probably get much better help here.

 

i <3 my weber. it takes some tuning, but once you get it dialed, its really consistent.

 

What do you mean by "<3?" Im a newb with these codes lol

 

surely a professional internet **** king like yourself is not serious, Siraniko ... even a boring, old fart like me knows what that is.

 

What is it? I dont text despite i postwhore lol

 

Im running with tbe fb distributor. I've got the racing beat six port intake with the racing beat headers. Im running a 60f9 idle. F7 emulsion tubes 210 air corrector jets. I've also got a rather large street port. I love the carb just haven't gotten it dialed in perfectly yet.

 

"love" ... it's a sideways heart. no text messaging? you and me both ... my phone still "flips" and everyone give me **** about it.

 

Thanks man. Yeah i rather call than text lol

 

mains?
chokes?

also, what is the car doing or not doing? just saying it's "a little touchy" is too vague.

 

Ahh sorry I haven't replied, cook life equals no life. I'll look at the mains tomorrow and let you know. Can't recall off the top of my head. The biggest problem with it is it stutters especially in first, also if you're cruising at one speed and ease off the throttle to slow. Sorta makes me think the timing may be a little off. I've had a light on it. Its pretty advanced not sure of exact degree. The guy I bought it from has custom marks set up.

 

Flip phone- u barbarian lol

Sent from my iPad using RX7Club. how bout that!

 

Im more or less just curious as to what setups others are running.

 

you'll need to verify where the timing is and adjust accordingly. do that before you start messing with the carbie. there is a chart of recommendations on the RB site.

Nice awesome info. One thing I've noticed more recently is a considerable rise in rpm if I pump the brakes

 

Also my mains are 230 with f7 emulsion and 210 air corrector

 

Stop being lazy and check the venturies for size.

 

Right now chokes are 42mm. The carb was supposed to have been made specifically for my porting by the guys out at the rotary shack. 60f9 idle gives me awesome cruise but leans out around 3k. 65f9 gives me great power all the way through the throttle however I cant cruise. Starts to stumble and jerk a lot at slight throttle.

 

i would try a smaller air corrector.

 

Richen or use a larger idle jet to richen the mixture. i have index/number drill bits for this reason

 

Someone a while back said that adding an extra progression hole was necessary.

 

older weber carbs have an idle hole, and 2 progression holes. if you pulled your carb off an looked at it, you would probably find that you are actually idling on the 1st progression hole, and not the idle hole.

the later webers have a 3rd progression hole, which lets you idle on the 1st progression hole, and still have 2 to transition to the main circuit.

or you can just get the main circuit to start working sooner with a smaller air...

 

Good point. I forget about the progression holes

 

I am idling around 1k rpm due to a large street port, sleeved exhaust port around the size of a t2 port, and all intake ports open.
