    Series 5 intake vacuum relief

    Thanks so much. I am looking forward to getting it out. Put some miles on last. Year and thought maybe I could upgrade the carburetor system but after all these years I don't want to spend that kind of money. Just holding my breath on social security. Thanks again everyone

    Series 5 intake vacuum relief

    Thanks for the numbers and I'm going to check the distributor for a year. Is there a graft of distributor #s for different years on the web ? I'm supposed to get the fuel pump Monday. I texted Jerome and he doesn't want to sell only the Weber intake manifold I've never spent that much money on...

    Series 5 intake vacuum relief

    thanks. I believe the log needs to go down the river. I'm still waiting for the new pump though. I'm going to contact alpine innovation and do it. I like the valve cover relief going to the air filter instead of PVC valve. I changed the pushrod cover to one with a vent too, I believe it helped...

    Series 5 intake vacuum relief

    Well I started to check the issues on the plate and now the new Chinese electric pump decided only to work for a few seconds if I smack it. It's 2 to 3 1/2 pounds I believe.Next, any suggestions on a decent price one, I looked at Carter and they seemed too much pressure output? I've been at...

    Series 5 intake vacuum relief

    Thanks guys for the input. I understand what you're saying so I'm going back to at it. I've been busy working on 2 old triumph Bonnievilles, I had to walk away. A guy on this forum years ago fixed the distributor ( very knowledgeable) I don't remember his name. I will d/b check vacuum #s and...

    Series 5 intake vacuum relief

    Thank you so much Husky drvr I have had the distributor rebuilt seams to operate correctly. I've moved the timing around 11' even tried vacuum adj which I didn't like, so I settled about 12/13'. I went and connected the log intake anyway to the cooling system to see if the fuel suspension...

    Series 5 intake vacuum relief

    Hi Folks. I have series 5 water jacketed weber intake with small tipped vacuum at bottom which does draw vacuum. Shouldn't it be closed off. It has the dreaded hesitation and I've read the water actually helps with fuel atomization in delivery. Thanks for any opinion

    Thanks husky drvr I thought it was right to hook up. I have a solex manifold that is the same sooo. I'm going to scrap the plan and rest easy. I'm hoping the weber will work out better.

    Hi. I'm looking for a picture of a coolant line to and from the weber intake manifold water jacket under the carb. I can start at the w/ pump but my heater is already fitted to head? Thanks for any help.

    Stock SV intake manifold

    Thanks for your reply I should have mentioned it is for a 2 barrel weber downdraft. I just wonder if it is worth running coolant in it. One problem I don't have the one that's a banjo bolt w/banjo and 1/2 barb for hose. Thanks again

    Jerking While Driving and... Stall

    Hello. I had the same issue with no gas showing in pump no gas pressure. I rebuilt pump pretty easy. The lids over the seals I just reamed the pot metal opening with razor knife just enough, crude but safe ping back. 60 years old probably tired anyway. I just like the look, works just fine now...
