I have fitted a 32/36 DGV Weber to a 1600 as I am currently rebuilding the 1725. No need to say that it is way too rich. Has anyone an idea which sizes would suit?

Hi Tom,
The reason why I advised to remove the bridge is that this bridge is not existing in the special manifold and is in fact an obstruction. By removing this bridge the manifold resembles the new one a little more than now.
I was informed that the bridge was implemented while it suits the standard Solex better, but perhaps I am mistaken....

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for your information, I wasn't aware of the details regarding the separation.
What interests me even more is what you say about the spacer. You mention a thermostat spacer i.e. a plastic plolenic spacer. I haven't heard about such a spacer before. Do you have any idea where I can buy such a spacer that suits the Weber 32/36?
I am very interested in this item, because I noticed when the engine is very hot that the idle is affected in a bad way. The only thing I noticed that when I spray some brake cleaner near the top of the Weber that the idle increases and that gave me the idea that the topgasket could be leaking although the Weber is new and not more than about 500 or 600 km were driven with it.
So do I have an air leak or is heat sucked up by the Weber? It could be worth trying such a spacer as you mentioned....

Hi Tom,
in order to eliminate any misunderstanding: the jets in my Weber are the standard jets if one orders the Webcon conversion as offered by Jerome Senn (London UK) who acts as both a Webcon dealer and the representant of SAOC.
When I asked Jerome what jetting was used with this conversion he nearly "bagged" me not to alter this jetting, because this jetting is the result of years of development of the inlet manifold.
In developping this conversion the Alpine of Jerome, a series V with a 1725 cc engine, was used. So to be precise: this jetting suits a 1725 cc engine perfectly and as it has been experienced it suits the 1592 cc engine as well.

Peter
