November 11, 201510 yr I have been working on a Weber swap this week. Conversion nightmare... long story. At any rate I have it together and it starts and idles well. I have no slack in the throttle cable yet I don't have enough travel to open the secondary. I have tried with the Hitachi linkage and then with the Weber swiss cheese link on various holes. I just can't hit the secondary or flow enough to rev over 5000 and my top speed is 55. Any ideas? 1987 EA82 and I do have full pedal travel.
November 11, 201510 yr Usually, that problem occurs when you are not using the Accelerator's Cable Bracket, supplied with the Weber, or if it has been Bent towards the Carburetor; in case it is there but bended, I kindly suggest you to Remove it from the carburetor's base First, then bend it again to let the Accelerator's Cable be farther from the Carburetor, and re-place everything together. Have you read my Writeup regarding the Weber Carburetor Swap on EA82 engines? Kind Regards.

I am using the Weber cable bracket
November 12, 201510 yr Yes I have read your write up a couple of times. It doesn't talk about having this problem. I am using the Weber cable bracket I didn't wrote regarding the problem you're facing, but I'll update my Writeup with the information I wrote on my post above; and as I wrote there, the Bracket might be bended towards the Carburetor, which makes the travel to be shorter; once the Bracket is properly set, the accelerator pedal provides full travel for the accelerator on the Weber carburetor... Unless there is a Hidden problem, such like an accelerator Cable that is not the proper one, or is about to fail; or a bent accelerator pedal / pedal box. Good Luck! ... Kind Regards.
November 12, 201510 yr Or just use the stock bracket and modify it if you have to. I did a swap on a ea82 where the adapter was welded to the intake slanted forward a little bit (better angle for steep up hill off roading). The stock bracket lined up perfectly but the weber bracket wouldn't bend back far enough to open the secondary which is what your problem is. You could cut the bracket and weld in another section if you want.
November 12, 201510 yr ... the weber bracket wouldn't bend back far enough to open the secondary which is what your problem is ... That is what I meant. I added the information that I wrote above, to my Weber Swap Writeup. Kind Regards.
