I agree entirely, the whole point of a weber is that it is hugely adjustable (more than ANY other carb). The only way to set one up properly is to pay someone with a dyno and a knowledge of webers to do it. I had a guy who works on AutoX to do mine. I stayed and watched, and it was a real education. He took the stock setup from triumph tune and spent 5 hours tweaking (including 2 hours working on the timing and linkages BEFORE changing one jet) Then he looked at more than 20 combinations of jets before he settled on the best set. runs smooth as velvet now, and should be pretty efficient (but not more efficient than a well adjusted SU) Cheers Tim > -- Tim Dafforn University of Cambridge Structural Medicine Unit Cambridge Institute for Medical Research Hills Rd, Cambridge CB2 2XY.
