    That is a pretty good price- where did you find it?

    Yeah the first one I saw also but it is a manual choke. But the second one I was just kind of leary about it sitting for a few years and the rubber diaphragm drying out and cracking. Then again, a rebuild kit would still be cheaper than a new one. Plus it comes with a K&N

    Weber Carb questions (new install)

    Well I'm finally able to get a 32/36 carb for my brother. The instruction say to tighten the studs down to about 10 in/lbs well the problem is if I do that there isn't enough stud sticking through to tighten the washers and bolts to the carb using the thick gasket. When tighten down there is about 1/2" of stud it needs to be at least 3/4" to be able to tighten the carb down. Do I need to put some blue thread lock on there and put it to the right highth or get new longer studs. I think after using the thread lock it "should" be ok but I just wanted some extra experience to help me out. There is also a cardboard gasket that looks to go in between the carb and intake manifold. Do I use both gaskets? If so does cardboard go down first or does it go on top of the thick gasket?

    Thanks for all your help [Brain]?

    talk to BobCGT He had a new/used Weber he bought last August and now has fuel injection so I think he might want to sell his. Good luck

    Brian;
    You can go by a hardware store and get longer studs to go in. I don't the exact size, but, someone might chime in.

    Thanks BQS4, That's kinda what I was thinking about doing anyways. I'll just take the new studs that came with it and get longer ones. I just figured if it came with the kit it should work. Oh well I should have known better

    The first rule when working with Kit Parts.

    The Kit may not contain all the parts you need, but will certainly contain some that you don"t...

    Help me understand this, you're replacing the original Solex with a 32/36, right?

    If so, manifold stud length should NOT be a problem other than possibly being too LONG! Let me explain, the throttle base of the Solex is ~3/8" thicker than that of the Weber, so something else is amiss here.

    BTW, when you get that far, you should use the same "stack-up" on your Weber as was used on the Solex - manifold, paper gasket, metal heat shield, paper gasket, 1/8" phenolic spacer, paper gasket, carb base! . . . and NO SEALERS!!!!

    my son and I rebuilt the carb ( weber ) on his GT last weekend and the PO had stacked washers about 7/16 deep to make up the difference. It was kind of a pain to work so we went looking for new studs and found a four pack at shucks auto of 8MM X 1.25 X 8MM X 1.25 bolts. the short side has 7/16 of thread and the long side has .800 of thread with the shoulder being 3/16 long. worked perfect with the only difference being coarse thread instead of fine on the long side, nuts and washers to boot!
