Reviews of WEBER carburetor

The Webbers are valuable.

Keep the Webers, sound fantastic but they do need a bit of studying as to how they work and what does what and the best jet combo. Forget off the shelf jet set up guides, never worked for me.

Installed Weber tall studs for the velocity stacks, filters and linkage as well as Weber flathead screws to replace the JIS screws. My washer as a spacer/shim idea on the accelerator pump seems to be working. I have a symptom similar to the dreaded "flat/dead spot" of a mechanical advance only distributor, but it appears to fuel related during the idle to main switchover. I believe my idles are slightly too large and this causes a momentary over fueling on throttle. Made it on its first ethanol free Sheetz run with the new carbs without hiccup, the responsiveness compared to the factory dual 32/34 PDSIs is amazing.

I would 100% go 1.8, I have had 4 mk2’s with 1.8 and I got all of them running easy. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend going with the carb’Ed version. As all four of the 1.8 cars I have had major issues with the k-jet-tonic/cis-e system and the parts are nearly impossible to find, at least here in the states. And if you do find them they cost more than the engine. I run dual Weber 40 carbs which are worth the initial cost investment.

I have a 32/36 on my cabby. They all need a heat shield between the intake and exhaust manifolds, but all functioned well.

I have and run a weber 32/36 on a GTI JH motor in a caddy. Very reliable and plenty of power. I even run it with A/C. Everything is simple.

I've switched the factory carb [76 Rabbit] to a dual Weber DCOE set up. Fun to drive but a lot to keep running well.

I've run a Webber 32/36 on multiple 80s VWs, a Suzuki Samurai and a 280z they have been excellent and I would buy another one of the need comes up.
