Webber carb question
baron von ledwidge:
Ive had it all apart today and cleaned all the lines looks like the previous owner has cleaned it with something water based as there was loads of corrosion inside and this was blocking the holes up, it now runs a bit tho its very spluttery and has some very savage backfires, how hard is it to set up?
thanks

hi any improvement yet? is carb making a nice mist of fuel vapour or trickling out?, backfiring can be timing of dizzy, tappets, fuel mixture etc,
How far into the carb is your fuel mixture screw?
baron von ledwidge:
yeh well basically i had anoterlook and uncoveredits own little world of problems as the guy beforehad sol it to me with all the dizzy lead in the wrong order,and when i removed the head gasket found a healthy covering of mayonaise, so i stripped it all down yeasterdayand re fitted the head re did the dizzy leads and itwill run on all cylinders, but if i nail it, it cutsout, so im gonnare strip the carb and set it up, does anyone know how to do this?
thanks

nice! b4 strip carb is ur vacuum advance set right? cud be over advancing it when hard accelerating? stripping carb straight forward, dingocroft do kit and has instructions too! better to take off carb and do on bench-lots of lil screws!
baron von ledwidge:
yeh ive not set the carb up yet, i stripped it down the other day and was just carefull witht he gaskets lo,i think it was all clear but i may give it another go and see ifi can sort it are they a major fuss to set up?
