Re: weber 38
Normally the weber should be better in fuel then the Solex 4A1.
I have mounted a weber 38 DGMS onto my 320-6. This is the version with the manual choke.

Re: weber 38
That's right. The original set-up is an Solex 4A1 with automatic choke. This can be with only the bi-metal and coolant and also additional with the thermovalve which electric moves the chokevalves and then let the bi-metal en coolant do the rest!
