    weber questions

    I am attempting to tune a 38dges weber on my 1725 engine. The carb has 45 idle jets, 185 air corrector jets, and the main jets are unmarked but have an orifice size of .052-.053". Right now the car will start, but won't idle. I don't have a working tach but I would guess that the engine dies...

    rotary vane fuel pump

    I installed a Carter universal rotary vane fuel pump. This pump is unbelievably loud. I think it is a GP-4070 but I'm not positive. I would have to look for the receipt or box to be sure. The instructions mention a 18-14U quiet pack to reduce noise. These just look like isolator mounts. Anyone...

    38 dges weber carb

    The series 5 I recently purchased has a weber 38 dges carb on it. The engine was rebuilt and the carb purchased new in 2002. I was given receipts when I bought the car. According to the PO, the car was never used after this. He took the engine out and put it in the car I bought. He never got it...

    fuel pump woes

    I have a series 5 that I am attempting to make roadworthy. It ran when I bought it, but not very well. The PO had installed a small electric fuel pump on the firewall because he said he couldn't get the mechanical pump to stop leaking. It has a glass bowl and was still mounted to the block. I...
