Forum: Aftermarket Down-draft carbs

I am a new member from Europe and it has been really exciting to read all the threads about these Sprint carbs. Earlier this year I made a decision to upgrade my Kadett Rallye to Sprint specs and bought all the gears needed for that. There are not too many loose sets available in Finland, but I...

I run a 32/36 DGAV and I just removed the plastic bushings on the primary throttle shaft for a set of bearings, this is an upgrade offered by Weber. now I have a bad vaccum leak at each end of the throttle shaft. I followed the instructions (even watched the video on youtube) and have taken it...

Since I finally found a suitable aircleaner (TE-2800) for my 'sprint' manifold, being shipped from Germany as we speak, I thought I'd better get busy fabricating the two manifold support braces still required and not yet made. I couldn't just copy the dimensions of the original supports, which...

I have a problem with my GT and its 32/36 weber. This problem has existed for 4 years but is getting worse. When I shut the engine off and let it set for a few minutes, the fuel begins to boil in the carb and spill over into the intake. This requires me to then start the car as though it is...

I've got a 32/26 now but am rebuilding the 1.9 as a 2.0 with higher compression, mild cam and porting job. I'm thinking of moving to a Weber 38DGAS (or electric choke version of same) and would like to use the stock air cleaner adapter that is now on the 32/36. Does anyone know if the weber...

Cool thx.Got another one for ya if you got a min. This is my carb. First off which Weber is it? Second any ideas on how to remove the last two nut to take it off?

i think i need to rebuilid my weber . i have studied the haynes manual a bit. i think i have read enough ..i want to jump in... its hard to start when engine is hot,seems to loose its prime..but likes to start with starting fluid...runs great once started..poor mileage..cARB HAS AT LEAST 70,OOO...

How long have Webers been used on Opels? Who's had their Weber in use for the longest?

Have a 73 GT with Weber carb. Replace points today and pulled carb off Cleaned with carb cleaner and blew off and out with compressed air, but have not taken it apart yet. blew all the old gas out of the lines and refilled with fresh gas. car starts great and idles great but as soon as i give it...

Just am beginning to install a weber with electric choke on my 72 gt. Any suggestions would be great, like where is the best place to route the wiring and best place on he fuse box to attach. I was thinking of going through the hood release bar's tubing to cross over to the driver's side and...

I'm finaly about to get my 69 GT on the road. I didn't do the original build so I'm not 100% sure of specs but it is a 1.9 with weber 32/36, fuel presure regulator & gauge, Jacobs Omnipack, and header. I rebuilt the weber and all should be good but it won't idle or run below about 1800 RPM. ...

Hi can any one tell me what the origanal nut size is for the opel gt 1973 carb stud to mainfold. I was replacing the solex and one of the 4 nuts holding the carb down went walk about, 3 yes 3 hours with a metal detecter, torch, kids ect, no luck. Please can any on give me the specification, nothing...

I am attempting to replace an unidentified solex with a weber dgev on an 73 opel gt. My big problem is relocating the pipes, with the main issue being the distributor vacuum retard. There is the larger advance pipe tube on the weber and next to it is a blanked EGR tube which is smaller. On my solex...

OK I have trawled the forums but help! can some on please tell me and hopefully others what the standard jetting for Weber 32/36 should be for the standard engine not the High compression one. People say it depends on altitude etc, but sorry that sound wrong to a point. Most people drive all over...

I have developed a problem with my Weber 38. After a high speed idle warm up, the GT settles into an idle and stumbles. I can see fuel dripping onto the throttle plates and the motor shutters, shakes, and dies. I recently relocated the fuel inlet to the fender side, and have twice gone...

weber?. i want to trash all that stock tentacle lamer i got. i have this. http://www.midlifeclassics.com/images/opel1/o1engl.jpg but want this square one. what part i need? http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2737/4521/6842260010_large.jpg

I have always wanted to try and build a custom dual weber set-up. You could take 2 stock or ported manifolds and cut off the front parts of both manifolds, and then weld a plate over the opening to the plenum chamber on both pieces. You could bolt both pieces onto the head faceing forward and tie...

OK, UPS shows my new Weber to be delivered today! Can't wait to get home. Anything special I should think of, or need to buy? Is it as easy as unbolting the old carb, and bolting in the new?..then the normal adjustments of course. Also, do I have to hookup the electric choke now, or can it...

I'm trying to sell my two extra carbs to help fund my 73 GT restoration however, I have no idea what they could be. If anyone wants ether of them before I put them on Ebay just shoot me a PM Here is the Solex

Hi, Does anyone here have experience with a single 34 ICT / ICH on a 1.1/1.2 litre OHV engine? It's supposed to be a direct replacement. I am most curious about possible performance gains and/or fuel consumption it provides. (it will be used on a 1.2S or 1.1S kadett B engine)
