Rob W. Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Need more information. What motor are you running? Are you looking for performance or economy? What are you using now? Quote Link to comment
jchristians Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 All stock on my 71 521. Quote Link to comment
jchristians Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Oh, I of course would like more performance...just checking possibilities, what's out there and common carb swaps. Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I am currently putting a weber 32/36 on my 71 521, and the research I've done it seems like the most popular are these 32/36. There are a few different series of 32/36s, I have a dfav, but I've heard that the dgv series are more popular Quote Link to comment
jchristians Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 appreciate the reply! Yeah, I meant to say 32/36 in my first post. Is this a bolt on, or is there a mounting kit you are getting? thanks much Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 yes it a kit with a carb adapter. 32/36 5A is the cheapest but is a manual choke. 32/36 DGES is a eleltric and you have a 72 there should be a 12volt to the eleltric choke of the stock carb. PS if your stock carb is fine dont change it. It nice and quiet and get good fuel economy. The 32/36 is a slightly better(simple) replacement in my opinion Do Not get the DFAV!!!!it pulles from the wrong side webercarbsdirect is a good site and a few others ,ck for price or manbe you can pc one together but be leary of used junk Quote Link to comment

jchristians Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 My stock carb needs a rebuild...and I hear these carbs are crazy to pull apart and put back together. So, thought I'd see what it takes to convert to weber. Oh, And I have a '71...not '72. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 If ou have a manual choke carb just get the 32/36 DGV 5A its the cheapest and a manual choke. you can maybe even use your stock choke cable. Hitachis when working I would keep since gas prices are high. But once worn its best to polish them up then throw them in the river!!!!!!its like working on a Rubix cube Quote Link to comment

Very easy. I've been running it for 5 years, and prefer it over a 32/36 any day of the week.. I didn't think it was that complicated.. Quote Link to comment
