Thanks 92_--- I'll see what I can find on craigslist; maybe ebay. And don't worry. I'd be surprised if someone said that it was common to find a weber carb at the junk yard. Just thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks for the help. Is a Weber carb something I could hope to find at a salvage yard? I mean, $350 is more than I want to spend on a really old car, so I might be looking at installing a manual choke. Anybody have s suggestion about where I could get a cheap/used Weber carb?

I've searched these forums and haven't found the right answer, so here it goes: I just got an '85 GL wagon 4wd w/ carburetor. It's got a little rust, but it runs pretty good all things considered. The problem is that it will not start if it's colder than about 40 deg. Disclaimer - I'm a novice at best, with car things. I figured out that if I hold the butterfly valve on the carburetor closed while someone cranks it, it starts right up. I tried cleaning off the easy-to-get-to parts of the carburetor with carb cleaner, but other than that I don't know how to fix the it so that it starts without me having to manually hold that butterfly valve shut. Any suggestions?

Hey Idaho folks. I just joined the site. I'm down in the southeast corner of the state (Soda Springs), but it's nice to see some other Idahoians out there.
