Recently I purchased and installed a single choke webber carb. The carb
came as a kit, with no instructions.
When fitting the carrb I came accross a few minor irritants. First, there
is'nt a linkage ball end on the operating lever, so I fitted the one from
my Zenith. Unfortunately the stud fouled the carb, preventing proper
operation, so I had to saw off some of the thread and then crank the arm
slightlly to operate properly. When I started the engine there was a
significant induction hiss, indicating an air leak. Upon removal of te
carb I discovered that the adaptor plate provided to adapt the Zenith
fixing to the Webber was not flat, so a fair amount of filing/grinding
was necessary to achieve a flat face. What started out as a 30 min job
finished up as a 90 minute job. Not sure if it was wotrth the troube
and expense, starting cold seems improved, gas mileage will be wait and
see, power, no perceptable change.
