Bill,
        Sounds like the Weber isn't tuned properly.  From discussions on
other lists it seems properly tuning Webers is more of an art form even than
tuning Holleys!
        As for alternatives, I have a dual carb setup from a 948cc Sprite on
my engine now.  The single carb on a high manifold is the original setup.

Dear Listers:  I have a 948cc engine engine in my '57 Morris and suspect the
after market Weber carb and manifold aren't working properly.  It loses
power
in mid throttle and I get poor gas mileage (18 mixed city and highway).
What
replacement carbs and manifolds do I have?  The original carb has air leaks
in
the throttle shaft.  At the Palo Alto meet I saw some single SU carbs on a
high manifold.  Are those still available?  Thanks for yor help.   ---Bill
