Quick Weber question

[lorwood]

Are all Weber 32/36 DG carbs the same? I found a 32/36 DGEV for a Subaru locally that the guy is basically giving away. Thanks

The basic carb is the same but: DGEV: electric choke, DGAV: water choke, I have a DGV5A: this is a manual choke carb. On my carb, with the fuel bowl facing forward in car, the primary bore is on the RH side of the car. Some of the carbs have the primary on the LH bore. The engine does not care which bore is primary, but having the appropriate primary bore (based on how you will actuate it) makes hooking up the throttle easier. I bought (5) Weber carb cores off of eBay a decade ago and when I got ready to do the conversion, it was very easy to have both a LH & RH primary carb to look at when figuring out my throttle linkage. I straightened out the link on the carb and brazed on a ball stud and was able to reuse the stock linkage. In this .jpg the carb w/ linkage is in place but the PCV is not hooked up yet: http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll27 ... 250016.jpg I wanted a stock look - test fitting the air cleaner (the air cleaner bottom plate has since had the blue covered w/ black paint) http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll27 ... 250018.jpg

If you plan on upgrading to a Weber at some point in the future and the carb is priced low enough, I would suggest buying it (if for no other reason than to have a spare carb w/ a set of jets). I suspect that a carb jetted for a Subie will be undersized for the bigger displacement of our sixes.
