For Safety Purposes

Vehicle Preparation

This section should be completed before you install this Weber conversion kit.

• Please make sure that the parts were not damaged in shipment.
• Please check the contents of the kit against the picture. If any parts were missing or the parts were damaged in shipping please contact us.
• Verify that your vehicle had a recent tune up and you do not have any other mechanical problems. The Weber carburetor cannot fix engine and ignition problems.
• Weber carburetors require 3.5 p.s.i. of fuel pressure. If your fuel pressure is more than 3.5 p.s.i., obtain a fuel pressure regulator from JT Outfitters.
• The electric choke or idle cut-off solenoids require a key-hot 12-volt source. Connect the idle cut-off solenoid and electric choke to the vehicle’s existing electric choke power source using a jumper wire.
• You must remove or modify the EGR air rail on top of the head. You will either plug openings with a 12x1.5 plug or crimp existing lines. YOU SHOULD HAVE NO EXHAUST GAS LEAKING FROM THE EGR PORTS. (See “Modifying the Air Rail” below.)
• Weber carburetors are preset at the factory. Only make adjustments to the carburetor after the installation and running the vehicle for the first time. After the carburetor is installed, record the factory settings if needed in the future.
• Please save your sales receipt and all carburetor documentation for future use.

Removal of Old Carburetor

1. Remove the battery’s negative cable.
2. Take off the original air cleaner assembly and housing.
3. Remove the fuel supply hose that is attached to the carburetor and label it.
4. Remove the fuel return hose and plug it.
5. Remove and label the vacuum hoses connected to the carburetor.
6. Remove and label all of the electrical connectors attached to the carburetor.
7. Remove the float bowl vent hose and plug it.
8. Remove and label all electrical and vacuum connections to the vacuum switching valves and remove them along with the vacuum manifold.
9. Remove the PCV hose from the carburetor. Later models used an EGR tube on the side of the manifold.
10. Remove carburetor and all spacers and gaskets from the intake manifold. Place a clean rag in the intake opening to keep dirt and tools etc. out. DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE THE RAG BEFORE INSTALLING THE WEBER CARBURETOR.
11. Remove the manifold studs from the intake manifold. Double nut each stud to remove. DOUBLE NUTTING MAY RUIN THE NUTS BUT WILL NOT DAMAGE THE STUDS.
12. Remove any excess gasket material from intake manifold. You can use a gasket scraper, wire brush and carburetor cleaner. DO NOT USE A WIRE WHEEL OR ANY POWER TOOLS AS THEY MAY DAMAGE THE MANIFOLD.

Weber Carburetor Installation

1. Remove the adapter plates, gaskets and hardware from the packaging. Please see picture for order of installation.
2. Mount the first adapter and gasket to the intake manifold, making sure that the Allen head bolts are flush.
3. Mount the top adapter and gasket to the bottom adapter plate. The adapter WILL NOT fit over the factory studs. The top adapter has a vacuum port that MUST face forward.
4. Remove the carburetor from the box, locate the throttle lever, fold back the lock tab and remove the throttle lever from the carburetor, and replace it with the throttle lever that is supplied with the kit. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE NUT FOR THE THROTTLE LEVER — LINKAGE BINDING MAY OCCUR.
5. Install the Weber carburetor on the four mounting studs. Using a criss-cross pattern, tighten evenly. Fuel inlet faces front of vehicle. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Carburetor Adjustments

See pictures for identification of components.

1. Idle speed: make sure that the engine is warm, and set the speed to the vehicle manufacturer’s setting. To raise the speed turn the idle speed screw in (clockwise), and to lower the speed turn the idle speed screw out (counter-clockwise).
2. Idle mixture: turn the idle mixture screw in slowly (clockwise), counting the amount of turns you make until the idle speed drops off. Turn the screw out (counter-clockwise), counting the turns until the idle drops off again. Turn the screw now back in half the distance that you turned out. Now the mixture is set.
3. Fast idle: make sure that the engine is cold. Press the accelerator pedal to the floor and let go. Start the engine (do not touch the accelerator pedal; once you touch the accelerator after the engine is running, the fast idle cam is disengaged). The engine should be revving between 2000 and 2500 RPM. Turn off the engine. To adjust the fast idle speed, turn the fast idle screw in (clockwise) to increase engine RPM; to decrease engine RPM turn the fast idle screw out (counter-clockwise). Do not touch the accelerator and restart engine to check RPM.
4. Choke: the choke is factory set. To adjust, make sure that the engine is cool (below 68°F). Turn the throttle linkage all the way to set the choke. The plates should be closed. Make a mark on the plastic choke cap and the carburetor where the two surfaces meet. Loosen the three screws one turn. Hold the throttle about one third open and start twisting the thermostat cap (counter-clockwise) until the choke plates fully close, then slowly turn the cap 1/8” (you should feel the spring tension in the choke tightening). Retighten the three screws (do not overtighten). You may now have to go back and check the fast idle speed and adjust if necessary. The electric choke MUST HAVE power to work.

Model 32/36 DGEV — component identification

Components to identify on your carburetor: choke pull off, electric choke, throttle lever, idle mixture screw, idle cut-off solenoid (optional), accelerator pump diaphragm housing, vacuum advance port, fuel inlet, fuel filter inspection plug, fast idle screw.

Modifying the Air Rail

1. Make cuts where shown, starting at the side of the rail as indicated; do not cut all the way through. Make the center cut to align exactly opposite of the choke electrical hookup.
2. After making cuts, bend tube away from choke connector until it will clear with the wiring connector in place.
3. Braze cuts to seal.

Another option is to cut all the way through at the outer cuts, obtain tubing bent to go around the choke housing, and braze it into the gap between the two sides.

Trouble Shooting Guide

In order to properly trouble shoot any suspected carburetor problems please double check the following: please read through the Weber Carburetor Installation section and go over any item that is in bold face type.

If the vehicle will not start, please check the following:

• Check that the fuel pump is functioning properly. Check with pressure gauge.
• Make sure that the ignition system is functioning properly.

If the engine idles too fast or too slow or stalls, please check the following:

• Make sure that you have no vacuum leaks. You should check all engine vacuum line connections and at the carburetor base (including the adapter plates).
• Check all carburetor adjustments: idle mixture, idle speed, and fast idle, in this order.
• Check that the idle cut-off solenoid is working. You can check this by listening for a clicking noise coming from the solenoid when the key is turned on or off.

If the engine idles fine but acts as if it is running out of fuel when driving, please check the following:

• If a new fuel filter was not installed, install one now. The old fuel filter may be clogged.
• Check that the fuel pump is functioning properly. Check with pressure gauge.
• Check all fuel lines. Make sure that the lines are not pinched or kinked.
• Check that the vehicle has not run out of gas.
• Check the fuel tank venting system (refer to vehicle shop manual).

If the engine runs rough or sounds like it is missing at idle, please check the following:

• Make sure that you have no vacuum leaks. You should check all engine vacuum line connections and at the carburetor base (including the adapter plates).
• Check the idle mixture adjustment.

Also please remember that any additional engine modifications such as headers, high performance camshafts, or free flow exhaust systems may require that the carburetor be recalibrated.
