hi anyone know how to set up webbers

Post by lordpercy »

Hi all

my resto continues..my M20 negine has been converted to a webber carb

Image

now it has difficulty starting, will start with plenty of accelerator, 'smells petroly' and bogs down, revs drop and stalls.

previous owner infrms me he changed the timing belt...i do not know if he chekced the dwell, the timing etc...

but how do i adjust carbs, and the M20 webber carb i assume it is auto choke?

and the brake servo is this incorrectly bolted (as i need to remove booster to get servo off)

Image

thank you for any help

steve

What kind of weber do youo have? Is it the 38 DGAS? I propably have description for that.

It is indeed an automatic choke version I see.
