RatInDaHat Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Or is there a way to fit a SPFI system on the 1400? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm not sure about a 1400, but a friend of mine has one on his EA71. Jetted a little lower than an EA81, but it works fine. I think Kostamojen (sp?) is putting one on his FF-1 and thats an 1100 or something. SPFI is a thought. I can't see why it wouldn't work. The intake manifold might be too wide, but you could make an adapter for the SPFI throttle body to mount on your manifold fairly easily.

Kostamojen Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The weber will be easier to plug in than with the 1600 (not as many wierd vacuum lines to deal with) I'm going to use a 1400 intake manifold for my 1100 so I can use the weber, but I wont have it running any time soon to see how well it works...

subiemech85 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I recommend the manual choke with a locking cable the weber makes a big difference on the ea71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatInDaHat Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 What's the best way to go to make sure it is jetted correctly? I really think i am going ot go this route cause i am tired of the hitachi's flakiness. -Dusty- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatInDaHat Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 anyone have a working email for them? Oh, and why do you recommend the manual choke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 water choke can be problematic electric is either off or on manual with a locking cable, when set correctly will act as a throttle to increase engine speed, and after pulled more, will engage the choke especially useful for when stopped,, and need to hold rpm above idle, just pull it out and it stays morning warmup: it idles fine until slightly warmed up where it decides to idle around 500 pull the cable, and set it for 2k, all is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattle wagon Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I Put A Weber On My 73' 1400 It Takes A Ea71 Manifold In Order To Fit! The 1400 Mani. Has The Thermostat Housing In The Way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I Put A Weber On My 73' 1400 It Takes A Ea71 Manifold In Order To Fit! The 1400 Mani. Has The Thermostat Housing In The Way. What about a California intake? If I remember right,I was looking into that because the Cali. was unobstructive. Too late now,but maybe the next guy to Weber a 1400 will see this. Any modification on that 1600 intake to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I managed to track down a EA71 manifold that was designed for the bigger Ea81 carb. I am busy port matching the manifold and modifying the carb. I have ditched the vac secondary and built a secondary linkage. Also shortened the accelerator pump linkage and have generally smoothed the carb intake My stock EA71 carb is 26/30, EA81 is 28/32, Weber is 32/36. I'm hoping that a port matched manifold and bigger carb will do work a treat. We shall see. But for now it would be interesting to know how people have gotten on with a 32/36 Weber on the EA71. How does it affect the power curve? What are the pro's and con's. Experienced feedback would be welcome. Cheers. Dirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
