***Weber Carb*** Adjustment Thread (2 Viewers)

[KillerPea]

I'm currently at 10. Everything performs well once I'm going, I just can't get the idle speed up. Might be time to pull the weber.

Im getting 10-11 mpg. But it light ping if i apply load (WOT) while cruising highway spd. 70mph

Yes , they work .
I had written enough info on the DGV series Weber over the years to print both of those books and then some - most of it is on the Zuhwarrie and Offroad.com boards but a lot of it has been lost to board changes . The whole issue was mostly Redline/WorldPac's ignoring the poor design of their install kits - those cast plates and included .105" thick gaskets cause most of the problems along with some pretty crappy castings coming out of Spain . When the market got flooded by a vendor importing Chinese knockoffs I decided to get out of it - people were sending them here to be fixed and I would not deal with them , and the vendor was telling customers to pound sand . A lot of it ended in some trade lawsuit and I ended up having to answer a lot of questions for Weber about trademark differences , glad it's all over . I never did work directly for Weber nor WorldPac or Redline , but they sure liked using me for support - that was the final blow .

my fall back guy ( a good friend in my younger years) was always Jose at Weber Carbs Direct .... he has since left due to his striving side buisness fixing Mercedes Benz ... people are fed up with dealer prices I suppose LOL

 

[Weber Sarge]

I did work with him a few times on parts , but mostly Ron Souls - who is long gone as well . Their management has cost them more high quality techs and employees than I can count . What really set me off was the boss was using my number , sourced from Ron's notes for tech reference after he left - without asking permission in any way at all . I stopped that right quick with 1 phone call , who just assumes things like that ?

Where is the best place to get the keyed 12 volts for the choke on a 38 dgs (spelling) Carb?

 

[JohnnyC]

I had a wire right next to the carb on the same harness as my temp sender... I think (it's been 20 yrs) it was for the idle solenoid

 

[shipmag]

On a stock carb yes its for the solenoid to kill the gas to the carb on a weber its fir the auto choke

 

[JohnnyC]

@shipmag

Are you saying you did this now and it works for you?

Or is it the way you had it setup all this time?

Or were you looking for another way to get 12v key on power?

 

[shipmag]

I had forgotten about the fuel shut off solenoid and found the wire next to the firewall worked out great.

@dawny

Since your a jeep owner I'll give you some slack ... Because you may not have read the thread from the beginning



I have posted typical starting points for weber 38 at the second post ... You would be comparable (in jet size only) to the 2F ... Main155/air180/idle60

There is a tune weber guide for the 38 in post #13

Throttle adjust screw backed out till just not contacting throttle (you would call this the idle speed screw)

Idle adjusting screws back out one full turn (you would call this the mixture screw)

Hope that helps... You can 'conversation me' if it is giving you problems... Don't want to clog up a cruiser thread with jeep info
