Lonewolf1990 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 alright datsun fam, so i got my electric Weber mounted on a 510 intake and headers installed on my LB20 engine and i was able to get the truck started but it sounded horrible either the rpm was really low or really high or it sounds like it starving for air , i tried tuning it but no luck , i cant get the Weber correct , ill try to start the truck again and it will run for a second then cut off, or it will stay running on but the engine is shaking so badly , any tips to fix this issue please help!! also can anyone spare pics of how they have there weber setup and where they have vacuum lines connected please. i wanna make sure i did it correctly Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Is this a new Weber? or Chinese knock off or used (I don't know which is worse) Quote Link to comment
Lonewolf1990 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 sorry for the missing info its a new legit weber from redline Quote Link to comment
bilzbobaggins Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Got any pics? Mine will run like that with the idle jet gets plugged. Which adapter did you use? The two piece? Make sure you use a good thread locker. They love to vibrate loose. I finally did away with the red loctite, and started using the blue loctite. So far, so good for me. Mine is on a L16 so I dont think the pics will help you. Only vacuum line is going to the advance on the distributor. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Was car running ok before this? just a carb swap? Nothing else like a dist swap also or a Moto rebuild carb adapter might have a crack or leak so no idle. Teuck should a run if you dump gas in there by cycling the gas so the accel pump squirts gas in there what carb you buy exactly there is a Weber 32/26DGV-IC that has a idle cut off that needs a 12volt wire.Some later 620s have a wire for that also.Datzenmike would know or others.mite be a choke wire and a cutoff wire I don’t know Edited April 25, 2020 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment

Lonewolf1990 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 another question about the smog pump, can i just cap the hoses or do i completely remove it? Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Over tightening of the two piece adapter can crack them. This is because of gasket squish. I don't use the gaskets anymore, instead I use Threebond 1211 sealer, and red loctite. The carb was new in the box? You installed the throttle linkage into the throttle shaft? Those pieces can be tricky and if installed in the wrong order or backwards can cause problems. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) A 77 should have a 12 volt wire for the choke and wire for the anti run on selinoid .so o don’t get the 12 volt wire from the alternator as the hot side is Hot all the time. have a photo of the accel pump side of the carb? i personably like the 5A version as it’s a manual choke as it’s simplier as for smog I’m not that familiar with those but I yank them or plug but if the exhaust manifold is rusted it might be a pain Edited April 25, 2020 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment
