im installing a 48 ida weber carb on my 12a engine, does anyone have any experience on setup? im mostly looking for information about gas inlets and the oil metering pump, thanks!

 

welcome to the board.

what exactly are your questions on those items?

 

im just wondering how the oil meter pump lines hook up to the manifold? or if i can just delete them? also i have two fuel lines, how do they hook up to the carb? and finally ive got an automatic trans, where does the vacuum line hook up from the trans? sorry im kinda new to all of this

 

1. for the metering oil pump, you will likely have to get creative. i never had an IDA carbie, but i did have a Dell'Orto DHLA from RB and i had to make my own actuating rod for the MOP. at the time (circa 1993) i used a coat hanger. if given the same situation today, i would get better material to make a rod, but on the same hand, it worked, so ....

deleting it is an option, but it's probably better if you just find a way to keep it functional. you could always opt to lock it in place, fully open.

actually, i just did a quick search, and it's going to matter if your throttle is "top-pull" or "bottom-pull" as to how easy it will be to sort out.

2. for the fuel lines, my guess is you'll be forced to dead-head it (delete the return line). i had to do that with my Dell'Orto. i ran it that way until i started tuning it, then i put a return-style regulator in the system, so i started using the return line again. having done it both ways, i would recommend the latter.

3. for your transmission question, i can give you these links:

the FSM = Foxed.ca

an IDA schematic = https://www.carburetion.com/diags/48IDAdiaginfo.asp

i never had an automatic, so i'm unable to help you past that. sorry.

 

i've used coat hanger as well for the rod. they have many uses. hung quite a few mufflers with it.
