tcporsche Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi everyone,I put the 32/36 weber DGEV carb.in 2 years ago.Used the correct manifold.ect,ect,ect.My problem is at first start it feels like it's running on 2 cyls. Can't drive till it warms up (about 5 mins.)If you put in gear before this it just stalls.I've checked for vacuum leaks,correct timing,idle,mixture,plugs,coil,wires,ect.NO LUCK! anybody done this swap and had similar problems?Once it runs good it's good for the rest of the day.fuel pressure and quantity are good. car is 1984 gl sw EA81 1.8l. Thanks in advance for any ideas.Tom Cramer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrgvanman Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 That kinda has me baffled and I have the same year, carb, etc. Just a guess but have you checked the choke setting when cold? Wishing you luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcporsche Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks for the reply.when cold the butterflies are almost completely closed.So are you saying when cold I should adjust the choke so more air,less fuel is coming in?I will try.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Could be a choke problem. Keeping an eye on this thread until a solution is found. I rebuilt an old weber and the hole where the choke rod went into the body of the carb was so worn the choke wouldn't work properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Choke is reducing the amount of air thru the carb. Fuel remains constant. Essentially means, less air and more fuel. Check again for vacumn leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
