Welcome!

Probably the second most ask question on this board. Use the search function and you will find 100s of pages on the subject.

...or Click on my Avatar and Scroll Down to Reach my Writeups List; there You'll Find a Link for the one about the Weber Swap on Carbureted EA82 Engines.

 

Kind Regards.

iaght will do!!

 

thanks

how should i jet my weber, i have examples from other threads but im not sure about my elevation witch is about 3500 feet above sea level.

 

thanks

I really Believe that you must Check How are the Jettings in the Carb Right Now, Before installing it; because the Weber that you obtained, was Jetted for another Car's engine...

However, the Main Jets on the Weber Conversion Kit from Redline, Designed to be used on the EA82 engine, comes with Both Jets as 140 (Same Low & High) but I Switched the High one to 162 after Many Tests.

I Drive between the Sea Level and 3,000 Feet around without issues, I Believe that you Might use the Weber with Both 140 or Less due to more Higher Altitudes.

Kind Regards.

ya right now the fuel jets are both 140 with 170, and 190 air corrector jets, and the idle jets are fifty i think i might bump the secondary fuel up to 145 and run like 200 and 210 air corrector jets. but im not sure. how much timing are your running base, and did you change your mechanical advance at all?

 

thanks

also what are your air corrector jets? because i think those are the only ones needed for altitude difference.

 

thanks

It would probably be beneficial to post make a sticky showing the procedure.. many of the old threads merely reference the other threads or have pictures that are broken links. The USMB guide isnt bad but the pictures arent close enough/detailed enough. Just my 2 cents..

I Changed the Vacuum Advance with a Single Port One, and my BumbleBeast Runs with the Ignition Timing at 20º.

I Hope that could Help.

ok so what is your whole jet set up, i know your running 140, and 162 fuel jets, but what about the air correctors and idle jets. im asking because im going to use your set up but change if for my elevation requirements.

 

thanks

I Never touched the Air Jets, so they are as they came Factory in the Redline's Weber Conversion Kit for the EA82.

Could I Ask you Why don't you Try to Drive the Car with the Weber Swap done First and Then, you'll Notice if the Carb will (or Not) Need any correction?

because it is easier in my mind to take all the information i know (what other people have it jetted at, stock jetting, and the craptachi jetting) and make an educated guess as where to start.

right now i have it jetted: primary idle 55, secondary idle 45, primary air corrector 180, secondary 190, primary fuel 40, secondary fuel 45. i would run a bigger secondary fuel jet but that is the biggest one i get with my jet kit

ok so on the fuel side of the craptachi carb are two hoses, one is fuel and what is the other, they are right next to each other.

also what is the best way to seal that coolant passage on the intake?

Its all in this write up. If you read it you would have your answers. Also if you search you will find hundreds of threads on the swap. EA81 and EA82 swaps are about the same.

no, that write up only answere some of them ( ive read it like 9 times ) and the search bar makes it difficult to find what i need to know, but ill try.

also what is the best way to seal that coolant passage on the intake?

 

After Reading this, I Hardly Believe that you Really READED it...

 

I Used Aluminium Welding to Fill the Water Passage, as that thread Describes that plenty of Pictures, but you can use whatever you Want, like JB Weld, made a Thread in the Tiny opening and insert a Screw then cuttin' its head to close it, etc...

 

Kind Regards.

i also had throttle cable length problems

You'll have them if the Carburetor didn't came with The Accelerator Cable Bracket... then you must search for one.

 

 

Good Luck!

i just modified the hitatchi linkage, ill post pics when im all done

why is the fuel return line from the float bowl to the tank smaller than the fuel in line?

why is the fuel return line from the float bowl to the tank smaller than the fuel in line?

 

The idea is to maintain the proper fuel Pressure at the Carburetor, otherwise, the fuel will return to the Tank, faster than the amount needed by the Carburetor, during deep accelerations...

so, where are the Photos?
