Ultimate Subaru Message Board

Yay! I love my weber!


Recommended Posts

Thanks to GD and the board my car is running like a champ. I really like the sound it makes when I stomp on the gas BWAAAAAAAH! Next is the drivers side axel, change the steering column, and make the stereo work right. I'm having so much fun!

And it was a pleasure to work on too - simple and easy the way I like them.

 

He has a 32/36 DGV-5A (manual choke) from carbsunlimited.com. My only complaint is that (like Redline) they send the tall filter element and those don't fit properly under the hood of non-lifted Subaru's. The other bothersome part is that the fuel inlet is on the wrong side of the carb so you have to yank that out, tap it to 1/8" NPT and install a new barb plus cap the other side off for it to look right and be routed nicely under the hood.

 

The carb was poorly assembled (Weber's fault I'm sure) - I had to re-center the secondary butterfly as it wasn't closing completely - couldn't get a proper idle speed with the secondary slightly ajar like that. The new one I bought a few years ago had a malajusted float level - all relatively simple fixes but sad that I would have to dissasemble two brand new Weber's for adjustment right out of the box. Maybe you could blame the float on shipping but the butterfly was flat wrong.

 

Hard to believe you can't get these in NZ? :confused:
