IT runs!!!! my wagon is driving!!

[Ratty2Austin]

so i finally got it all back together! weberized, and dual-ranged... the 1980 GL-1600 (now an 1800) is back on the road...

 

but need to know-

 

with the weber, do I need a fuel regulator? (and where can i get one cheap? schucks has gone up in price! $24)

 

and it seems like its running very rich again! (how do i know if my electric choke is working?)

 

i will post pics soon

for the electric choke - just look. And take a multimeter to the lead. Should pull off in the first 5 minutes or so if the temp outside is around 70.

 

You don't need a fuel regulator. The Weber runs best at 4 psi, which is actually more than our EA81 fuel pumps generally provide at the age they are. Most places reccomend a Carter 4070 I think for the webers. I am probably going to get one eventually (about $80). They are high-volume 4 psi pumps. I think my car is giving me about 1.5 psi right now, and you can tell it's not enough.

And does that wagon sound chunky, it also sounds mean with that exhaust system on it. I wasn't impressed with its get up. Austin lets get that thing tuned correctly I can't wait to get my brat up and runnin!:cool:
