can i put it on it looks like the linkage was still on it. but i dont know exactly what im looking for. i dont want to take the hitachi off if i cant get this one to work. or can i use whats on the factory carb to get it to work

billy

my first weber i took off the linkage from the luv carb and put it on the weber ... worked fine and my son still has it on his luv now, been about 3 years and no problems

so if i take the linkage off the hitachi it will fit on the weber no problem? it looks like it already has some type of linkage on it, maybe for a different vehicle or something. maybe that one will work, like i said im new to the carb thing. thanks ctmandu, do you happen to have a pic of what the linkage looks like on the weber or the linkage period, again thanks.

no i don't ... i have pics but not with the linkage ...if you take the linkage off the weber it should have a rectangle cut out the will fit the weber ..

I pretty much hacked up the stock linkage thing and welded on a bracket i made to put it in the right spot. It has worked so far. Bout a year.

i see can i pick one up at a auto part store or does any other vehicle have one that will fit?

you can buy them here other wise the stores wont carry them unless you have a speed shop around and they might

thanks ctmandu i made one. its not as pretty as yours but it does the trick. thanks for all the help with this, now all i have to do is get it tuned right. any ideas.

Warm up your engine to operating temperature, then set your idle at 800-900 rpm's.

Now turn in the fuel/air adjustment screw untill it runs rough, then back it out counting your turns untill it runs rough again. Turn it back in exactly 1/2 of the amount of turns you just used to turn it out, and it is set.

All weber 32/36's are set halfway between the lean rough idle and the rich rough idle at normal operating temperature and at normal idle rpm's.

Pretty simple, huh?

Hmmmmmm, guess Im biddin against ya on the grille.

that grill on ebay only has the one bend in the middle not three like it should, see mine below with the three

looks like 3 to me.

Beats me. The guy said it came off his 79 luv. probably a straight custom grille.

ok my carb is dieseling when i cut it off. do i need to open my air mixture screw more or close it alittle more? its almost like its running sluggish.

Are you sure it's the carb? Is it dieseling at shutdown? If so it might be timing more than carb...

Here's some more info on setup and adjustment:

If you go into the free stuff on this site's info download page, there is a complete file on all things weber that I personally donated there. You can download it, open it up, and it contains a lot of .pdf files (Adobe acrobat reader...if you don't already have it, you can download it for free) that list part #'s, adjustments, fault diagnosis, troubleshooting, diagrams, pictures, rebuilding/repair instructions, etc. for every model of every weber carb made.

While you are at it, check out all of the other great freebies there too.

BTW...if it's deiseling when you turn it off, your timing is set wrong, just like the man said.

when I put my weber on it would diesel on shut down too. But my idle screw was in too far. I gave it a little bit to slow it down and it fixed it.
