Zomgturbozombiejesus Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 So I'm finishing up rebuilding this carb and I'm not sure the action is as smooth or where it should be since I don't really have anything to compare it to since I removed the spring loaded choke assembly. I marked the alignment before removing it, but I'm not sure its at the right tension. Seems now the majority of the action doesn't move the butterfly at all, and the portion that does takes a fair amount of effort. I took a video to try and show how its working currently. Sorry video is rotated, phone wouldn't let me rotate before uploading. It shouldn't really matter, you can still see what you need to see I hope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp-KJ0tCHAM&feature=youtube_gdata_player Thanks Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Looks about right. The choke unloader linkage does take some effort. Quote Link to comment
Zomgturbozombiejesus Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Ok, cool - seems like the valve might be sticking a bit - but I can't really remember how it was before I started messing with it. I'll try installing tomorrow so I guess we'll see. I'm sure i'll be back with some other issue. Quote Link to comment
Zomgturbozombiejesus Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Got the new carb in, but had a few questions on some of these vacuum lines. I've looked in several other carb posts as well as some others around the internet and I haven't really been able to find anything consistent. 1. I've seen this simply left, or with a little filter on it. 2. I understand this is the water choke so obviously it needs to be hooked up to some coolant lines but not sure which ones. 3. I've seen this plugged or hooked up to the vacuum line coming from the distributor. I guess I'll be removing that hard fuel line since my fuel inlet is on the right side now (although I've seen pictures where other peoples are still on the left side of the carb fuel filter). Not sure where these should go, they were connected to the old air intake filter housing. Lastly, the throttle cable is at a fairly extreme angle. I'm assuming this is common since the point where the cable is attached to the throttle assembly on the carb was a bit torqued in this exact fashion. Is there maybe a longer bracket that I can install so it actually lines up a bit better? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 1 is engine block breather. Use a liittle filter 2 is auto choke, plumb into heater hose I cant see yellow 3 Red 2 & 3 plug them. They are used only with stock air cleaner Quote Link to comment
villegs Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 think 3 is the port on the carb base, goes to vacuum advance Quote Link to comment
Zomgturbozombiejesus Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 2 is auto choke, plumb into heater hose Cool, does the flow direction matter? think 3 is the port on the carb base, goes to vacuum advance That's located off the distributor correct? Quote Link to comment
Zomgturbozombiejesus Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Throttle cable is too short ... the pedal is halfway depressed minimum. Is it common to need a longer throttle cable for a weber? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Depends on wich cable you talking about, which car you have. 510 no had cable Floe do no matter Quote Link to comment

Zomgturbozombiejesus Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 There is only one throttle cable as far as I know, and this is posted in the 620 truck area so I have a 620. I had to use the adaptor which adds about two inches of height which seems to be about how short the cable is. Guess ill have to look around for a longer cable and likely a bracket so it isn't pulling at an angle. Quote Link to comment
