Ok, just got my weber from rotaryshack. Started it up and ran sweet as hell!!! only problem is, how do i hook up the throttle cable??? Do i need to make a new bracked to hold the cable sleeve???? Pics would be nice, but anything is appreciated! thanks much

 

Maybe you should ask the vendor.

 

ok, i just made a bracket, so nevermind that question.. But now my gas pedal is extremely loose... what can i do??

 

i know this has nothing to do with your problem.. but i was wondering if your buying exp from rotaryshack was a plesent one? ? cause i'm thinking of buying a 13b motor and tranny from then... sorry just had to ask
thanks

You need to adjust the pedal. The first adjustment is the stopper bolt. You need to hold the pedal all the way down and adjust the bolt so that it just touches the pedal. This is important as it prevents damage to the throttle shaft assembly. The other adjustment is just the free play. You'll get a better idea of what I'm talking about once you crane your neck and take a look under there.

 

My expierience buying from RotaryShack was pleasant!! Robert was very helpful in my MANY questions... On to the next thing... Does anyone know where the adjustment screws are on a 45 DCOE carb??

 

Is the vendor not supporting you?

 

The vendor has supported me in every way possible. He has been very helpful and had answered many many questions. I just needed to ask you all a few questions... What screws tune what, and why my pedal is so lose...

 

Where can i get a Weber 45DCOE manual???

 

Haynes sells one, go to their website then call and order one.

 

I also think there is one in the Victoria British catalog.

 

One last question, when i hit my gas pedal, the carb will not return to idle.. is like the cable is sticking.. the cable slides very easily.. it seems the throttle linkage bracket is not strong enough to return to idle.. any ideas? can it be adjusted?

 

Have you acutally had a look under the dash at the pedal assembly? If you do it should be pretty obvious how to make the adjustments.

 

Get a stronger throttle return spring, haha. I actually dont know how to help ya, I just thought Id throw that out there as a posibility.

thats exactly what i was going to say... i need to do that too, actually.

 

That's not going to change the fact that he needs to adjust the pedal. Any time you put a different carby on or alter the cable adjustment at the carby this needs to be done.

 

the throttle return spring was hiding in the box!!!!!! i hate shipping popcorn!!!! it gets everywhere!!!!!! thanks tim!!! that bad boy will be smoking fools soon enough!!!p/s if you need that choke block off let me know!

 

I wish I had a carb . I wonder if one will magically be sent to me soon .

Can anyone tell me if i need to have my dizzy hooked up to a vacum source when running a Weber? If so, where should i hook up the vacum? Also, what fuel pressure do most of you run?

 

I heard 5 PSI from mazdatrix, and they sell them. As for the vacuum source, I dont know, but personally, I plan to just leave the dizzy open when I get mine, unless theres another better idea out there...*hint, hint*

~T.J.
EDIT: Nice sig man...Removed the spring for the secondaries on your Weber, eh?

 

Just leave the vacuum advance disconnected.. there's no need for it. It also helps to dial in a bit of extra timing. There's an article on Paul Yaw's website that shows a good way of doing it.

As for fuel pressure, Weber's like about 4.5psi.

 

I edited my Profile and removed that secondaries thing... Hmm.. Anyways, thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate it!!!

 

By the way, do you have any pictures of this thing yet? I wanna see it . Also, when I emailed MazdaTrix about the Weber, I also emailed RB about the pressure, and they said 4.5 - 5 PSI. So it looks like somewhere in there would be good .

~T.J.

 

I run between 4.5-5 psi, but my gauge broke, so now I don't know.

 

Well, I run 4.5-5 psi at idle I should say.

At boost the pressure goes way up, which is why my gauge no longer works.
