RE: god bless webers!!!!!

Damien,

 

Nice buy for the sweetest sound on earth - funny thing is that not many ppl have a clue what's making all the noise as I idle through Civic on Friday night as I don't have a particularly loud exhaust.

 

I'm nearly sure you're in Canberra? If you bought them here then leave everything the way it is as it's been done for good reason. Even DCOE webers here in sub-zero temperature will need choke(s) to fire in winter especially if you have to park it outside, but once the engine is up an running you turn the choke off to drive off. Weber chokes are super rich, hiss and carry on and blow black smoke out the exhaust which is normal. With twins some folk just leave the choke connected on one of the carbies which seems to be all that's required to get around a freezing cold start in Canberra.

 

There should be an inline PCV valve in the crank breather hose, if not you will have to get one and you can source them from early Toyota 6 engines (4M) and I think 70's Corolla/Corona have them too, from memory the Toy fittings actually suit the Datto PCV crank hose which is helpful. You will also need to fit a filtered breather canister from the rocker outlet. A simple one from Auto Pro is all that the law requires. Environment stuff is important and should be maintained if possible and if you get caught without this stuff you will get nailed badly in the pocket as it's one of the first things after tyre condition that the ACT coppers look at. You can get fancy with the breathers and fit a catch can, Fergy made a beauty himself and I think the details should be in the archives.

 

regards

Terry

Subject: god bless webers!!!!!

Good morning all,

On Australia day I purchased some twin 45mm sidedraught webers. They had every thing to suit a 1600, so I bolted them straight on. After a three hour drive (and $25 in fuel!) I decided that there is nothing that sounds tougher than twin webers at full song!!!

I have a few Weber questions;

There is a T-piece on each of the manifold runners. They all connect and go to brake booster. The crank case ventilation hose also connects to the other end of this set up. I this in the interest of performance, or the enviroment?

I have the choke set up, but seems to be unnecasary. Will I need it in winter, or should I take it of?

My 1600 has a fuel return line, should I hook it up to the Webers?

Does anyone have any K&N filters they want to sell, or know where to get them cheap?

Thanks very muchly,

Damien
