October 23, 200322 yr Holla. Weber is in. HOPEFULLY going to install it tomorrow. Upgrading from an 87 stock Hicrappy. Any common problems I am going to run into?
October 23, 200322 yr problems? scores of kentucky redneck chicks lining up to have your children now that you have such an uber ride. I'd recommend that you keep not-bathing and not-wearing-deodorant in an effort to scare them off. And by no means should you put an air mattress and ceiling mirrors in the back of your wagon like you discussed in spokane, that will only encourage them.
October 23, 200322 yr If you have PS you could run into conflicts with it and the mounting. I believe most have reversed the carb to get by this. I have not installed one onto an EA82 though. Just going by what others have stated.
October 23, 200322 yr Author No worries, the guy who owned it before had it on an 85, and he included all the mounting brackets and hardware.
October 23, 200322 yr Well, you said you were going to bookmark my thread on the Weber install, most of the problems were covered in that. A few things that weren't mentioned; You'll have to space the throttle cable adapter, off of the Hitachi, out a bit on the Weber. It will hit against the control rod for the choke if you don't. You may or may not need a Fuel Pressure Regulator, I did. I used one of the extra hose barbs from the FPR, to run the fuel return line on the Weber. The one from the Hitachi wanted to leak a bit. I used the bracket that held the wire for the Oil Pressure sending unit, for my throttle return spring. I removed the bracket from where it was mounted, flipped so it would fit over the T-belt cover, and mounted it on one of the T-belt cover bolts. This put the spring in-front of and below the cable adapter, as well as in-line with it. Have to drill a small hole to fit the spring on the cable adapter. May have problem getting throttle cable mounting bracket aligned with the cable adapter on the carb. It needs to be as close to in-line as possible, to prevent binding of cable. I didn't use the one from the Weber kit, used the one that was on the engine, but it's not the stock one as far as I know. Be prepared for some initial start-up problems. May not happen to you, but it could. I don't think my Weber liked it's cross-country trip. It was a bit rough, the carb wasn't setting in the box the way they had ment it to be. Box wasn't damaged, but the contents sure got shook-up. All I can think of right now. Good luck, and enjoy............... edit: Had to go find it again.
