Carb woes

[lehiguy]

Alright, so I dont' think I'm hijacking here because it goes with the thread, but what is wrong with the Weber, everyone says the stock is better, but I've even heard some of the carb gurus say that the weber may be a better choice for people that are not as mechanically inclined, or don't know cruiser carbs (which seem to be a creature of their own) My truck doesn't run right, dies at idle etc. But it could be any number of things (most likely carb, or the manifold leak...both of which will be fixed eventually, it's my hobby truck, not my daily driver)

All of that said, I've never heard of anyone being unhappy with the weber aside from the air cleaner size (which can be fixed with an adapter from K&N.

(Really I'm not being snotty, I'm just curious) what's wrong with the weber?

I'm a simpleton. And I know how to tune carbureators that aren't plumbed like the back room at Sea World. I did a desmog, Weber, header and fluid heat riser on my 60 after about a week of owning it. It's so simple and so clean under the hood after that, not to mention how well it ran. Webers are the easiest carb to tune of all that I have worked with, excluding dirt bikes. They can take ANY angle, run in ANY temperature and they stay tuned; you set them and forget them. Granted, the stocker can run well with a rebuild by the right guy, but under the hood it will still be a disaster with about 100 miles of tubing, sensors, relays, vacuum switches, etc all waiting to fail. For me it was an easy decision that I never regretted.
