August 21, 201016 yr Author comment_461354 off this some info The Lada carburetor shares its footprint with the downdraft Weber family, which means that you can easily install the famous Weber on to your Niva. Although the Lada carb is not nearly as bad as many people make out, the Weber is a newer design of the carb and more importantly has bigger barreled throats (ie allows greater air-flow), so the upgrade is recommended by many for better power and drivability. Nivas also benefit from a larger bore exhaust, while it’s an expensive upgrade whenever your current exhaust needs replacement consider replacing it with a 2” system instead (don’t go any bigger though or you’ll likely loose useable power). A Weber will generally not drastically improve a Niva's mpg (depending on the Weber and how you drive it may even make it worse). A decent condition Weber will certainly improve on the mpg of a worn or badly tuned original carb, but one in poor condition or tune will not help. The Niva had two main types of carburetor fitted: a mechanical opening secondary or a vacuum operated secondary. Webers are virtually a direct swap onto Nivas originally fitted with mechanical secondary carbs. Nivas originally fitted with a vacuum secondary type carb may require a custom linkage lever for the Weber. Left-hand drive Nivas have different linkages I'm unfamiliar with, but I believe they are either easy to mod or a direct swap Edited August 21, 201016 yr by Evan G Report
August 21, 201016 yr comment_461361 Get the choke diameter Evan- The Webers are often too large for 4Ks I reckon, and the Lada might be perfect. Report
