i bought the weber kit dgev from classic inlines. i have a question while were on the carb subject, it will run fine and all but when i shut the car off it will kind of spudder for a second it never used to do that any ideas on what it could be or be concerned about it? and its hooked up straight to the stock fuel pump (5-7lbs) it came with a 3 lbs fuel regulater should i put that regulater on or just keep it how it is?

From my VW day's, I can say Webers can be picky on fuel pressure. All I've ever had liked it under 3psi.

as far as i can tell it dont seem like im giving it to much fuel with the stock pump it runs smooth and i hear no detonation

While the sputter could be unrelated forcing a little extra fuel into hot chambers could cause this. The fact that they include a regulator and advise using it should tell you something right there. Beating a dead horse with the VW referance, but they originally came with a fuel shut off solenoid on the stock carbs. Webers have been used on probably more VW's than any thing else. I ran dual 34ICT's and a 32/36 Progressive and both worked better with the regulator. Same deal on oldest son's 6 cyl Jeep with the Weber 32/36. Doesn't take long to try it.

Howdy:

YOu could also try lowering your engines idle speed.

Adios, David

i hooked it up and it worked better than i thought actually, runs even smoother and dont have as choppy of an idle. as far as the idle speed screw i set it to ear since i dont have a tach to go off of, can put more pics on later if you guys want

oh and p.s. it didnt spudder i will see after the cruise in if it gets any better
