I had to go have a good search, have a read of this thread, on page one Poida explains it in words, then at the start of page 4 Todd goes through it all with pics.

Let me know if thats of help to you.
If it is we will get that info sorted into a sticky post somewhere on here thats easy to find.


Cheers, Bob.

I'm expecting five more miles per gallon just with the Weber conversion. However with a feather touch on the gas pedal the mileage should increase considerably since with the 32/36 DGEV Progressive, only one barrel is used for 80% of the time, and the second barrel doesn't open until the throttle is at least 2/3 opened. That is just one of the engineering features of the Weber that provide the greater fuel economy.

What a time to be focused on better fuel efficiency.

Here I am holding the throttle lever open completely, which shows both barrels of the Weber 32/36 DGEV open. This one is going on my LUV tomorrow.
