Bull****!!! I misguidedly bought one for my suck-ass weber nearly 2 years ago and subsequently replaced it with a quality Jim C. Aisin rebuild.

They've been around as long as that model of weber carb has been around. Check the weber website for details and part numbers. Then search the web for that part number.

Don't pay JT's price!!! Jeeze, hasn't everyone learned that by now?? These things are available from a dozen online shops.

Come on folks, do some research... Start at the source and work your way out. Jeeze...

Sorry, I'm just in "that" kinda mood today...

wow outback are you having a rough day? I checked the weber site and did not see the manual choke mod for for my 38 DGAS weber.. that one above at JT Outfitters looks like it may not be a weber supplied piece.. no need to get worked up, thats why this site is here, so we can all learn a thing or two now and then. I was excited to learn that there may be a manual choke kit for these things, the electric sucks. I had been down this road before looking at various suppliers trying to find a kit and had been unsuccessful, I appologize if you though I was throwing out some bad info.

Why, pray tell, do you want to spend your money this way, anyway?
 
The electric choke on these things dont work so well, especially in cold weather, they open slowly as the engine warms up, but when it below zero out here in colorado, shorts trips to work, and the choke never effectivly disengages and causes some serious plug fouling. The manual choke would be better for cold starts as I could manually choose its open position and keep the cold stumbling and misfiring to a minimum.

Yes, but why not S-can the whole deal and get a real carb?
 
I have been thinking about it lately, but honestly it only runs rough when its cold, I have had no other real problems like some of the guys on the board. I would like the self-adjusting nature of the Aisin up here in the mountains.. mine tends to load up at about 10,000 feet.

Makes sense.
 
I had a weber 32/34 on my FJ45 when I got it, and I have to say it did seem to work well just driving on the highway. But my Aisen 1bbl is even better, so maybe it is just the excellent F135 engine. I will say the weber seemed easy to tune. I do understand the thoughts about having a manual choke. Although my auto worked, I am a control freak and often wished for the manual.

Is the Weber really that bad on these motors? Seems like everyone says they run rich. Do you have to custom jet each one? Do thay work out of the box for anyone? Yo.

as far as working out of the box, yes. but how well it works is the question.
i don't think they're all that bad, noticed i did'nt say they're the greatest either. when they are tuned right they get the job done. most people tend to say they run rich and mine have as well, i think playing with the jets would help ALOT with that.

i also think most people have problems with the adpter plates(2 of them, so 3 gaskets between carb and manifold).

i have found that i need to tinker with the chole setting when the seasons change, a manaul choke would fix that.
sooner or later i'll get around to the jets
