Weber linkage

[Anonymous]

Good evening all. I tried searching for this info with no luck. Does anyone have or know of a site that shows pictures of how to adapt the lnkage for a weber 32/36 DGV? As usual, all help is appreciated.

this is probably something like what you want.

You may need to convert your system over to a throttle cable. I am running a Weber 38 DGAS and had to convert over to a throttle cable and trans kickdown cable setup. It is really easy to do, but cost a little more than I though it would. I may have spent $150 for everything.
If this is a route you wish to consider, I have a basic how to with part numbers and prices.

Bob,
I have an automatic and kept my kickdown mechanically. All I did was eliminate the manifold pivot. I went straight from the linkage that bolts to the bellhousing to the carb linkage with a rod and 2 swivels.

Thanks for the input. My problem is that in order to apply throttle, the control on the carb turns counter-clockwise. All my ideas would work if it turned the other way.

That's why I eliminated the pivot. The Weber turns the opposite direction from the stock carbs, and removing the pivot corrected that problem. I'll try and get a pic posted this weekend.

Check out this link I had put together some time ago showing the modifications I made to the throttle linkage for a DFV.

You guys seem to have mounted all of your carbs sideways... Have you had any trouble with stalling during cornering or anything like that?

Just wondering.

I haven’t run mine enough to have an opinion on its performance in cornering. After the rebuild I will be able to determine if it is a real problem with my setup.

I have some older publications that discuss the operation of the Weber series carburetors. This point was actually addressed and historically, mounting the DFV and DGV (Holley 5200) design with the float bowl sideways has not been a problem in cornering, even in the European designed engines.

I hope this helps. Have fun, Ric.

I've also heard that raising the float level can help the problem.
