altezzaclub Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 You need to go down the same track as EvanG and fit an oxygen sensor & display. That will get you the best jets for the 32/32 to start with. I don't know enough about the downdraught Webers to tell you if one is better than the other, but in the end they all just mix fuel with air. Check his posts about it. I've fitted a pair of oxy sensors to check each of the twin SUs I run, and use them for selecting needles and adjusting them. 7.5L/100km at 100kph... and it gets there much faster than stock!

tioklou Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 ok but does a new one with it's butterflies open and close tightly is better for tuning and economy? just a question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 If you have a new 32/34 you should use it over an older carb for sure. You'll spend nearly all the time driving on the primary choke and they're both 32s. Get it jetted for economy with a oxy meter. If you had to buy a new Weber over an old one it would be a bit more debatable. The worn throttle shaft lets air in at idle and leans it out, but they can be replaced anyway.
