I originally had a carter carb and went to a junk yard yesterday, pulled off a hitachi intake off a 84? Wagon. Got a redline ea81 weber kit. Put everything together today, I have the electric choke in the front, linkage on pass side and fuel inlet facing rear off car on drivers side. It started right up and sounds really good, a lot better than the carter. Problem I'm having is my throttle cable isn't long enough to reach my linkage??? Was the carter carb linkage shorter than the hitachi? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Must be because the stock hitachi one fits, at least it did on my gen 1 brat. Rock auto has them I believe.

Are you Using the Accelerator's Cable Bracket?

 

 

 

 

It must be Used along the Accelerator Plate from the Hitachi, on the Weber... if not, the Cable won't Reach properly to Fully Open the Throttle.

 

Kind Regards.

I'm doing a weber swap from a weber/carter and it looks like mine is going to be a bit short as well. I'll examine it a little more tonight.

My problem was the carter throttle cable. It is shorter than the hitachi one. Picked a new throttle cable and all is good
