[Fot] Weber carb issue

[Allen Washatko]

P.J.

Can't answer the idle adjustment issue but I would say that the needle  
and seat valve at the float needs replacement. Just had the same issue  
with a 40 DCOE Weber. The needle valve comes in the standard rebuild  
kit so it must be a regular replacement issue. Use a 175 which is good  
up to 300 H.P.

Fuel pressure may be a little high. Pierce Manifold recommends 11/2 -  
2 lbs. max pressure for side draft Webers.

Hope that helps some.
