disom93 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Whata the best jetting for a weberized ea71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think that would mostly depend on your elevation...im at 8000 ft, and so my jets are fairly small (120 primary, 125 secondary) Whats it got in it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBrat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 140 on both works well here at ~4000 ft. (stock size jets) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disom93 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ok would my jetting being like it is cause bad mpg? Like 17mpg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I bet your 130 is pretty close to correct, but that secondary jet is likely too big. If you stick your foot in it a lot, that could definitely contribute to lousy mileage (the secondary bein too big) Given it a tuneup lately? 17mpg is horrible!

disom93 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 New plugs wires, rebuild on carb, throttle shaft bearings, lean best idle tuned. It has 205-65 directional mud treads on it tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferox Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Based on what you have, the most important jet you should change is the primary idle jet. Edited February 13, 2014 by ferox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disom93 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Ok would it be worth it to get them all to what they need to be and with that primary being off ehat would it do to my brat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Ok would it be worth it to get them all to what they need to be and with that primary being off ehat would it do to my brat? It's easily worth it to get the exact correct jetting. There are very few automotive parts that have a greater benefit/cost ratio than proper jets. With the primary being that rich you would get shitty gas mileage and it wouldn't idle very well with the idle screws set within Weber spec. I would order a 45 idle jet along with a 50. The less you have to turn in the idle speed screw to achieve stable idle within spec, the better your throttle response. As you go down in primary idle jet size your idle speed should increase which should allow you to dial back the idle speed screw. With an ea71 and larger tires you're probably going to want all the throttle response you can get. With a decent ea71 and mud treads at 3,000 ft I would expect to get 21-24 mpg depending on the tires and driving style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disom93 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Ok my idle is very erratic now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Brat Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 What about an Iowa Guy with an elevation of 761 feet driving a 1979 Brat with a EA71. Idle is not smooth and I have to turn the idle adjustment screw out like 3.5 times before it sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
