One of the more important issues that you need to be on top of is the linkage for the Webers. Most people spend undue time tinkering with jetting, chokes, etc., when the real issue was that their linkage was not correctly setup and the carbs were operating at slightly different throttle responses. After you have it installed move the throttle lever and watch for any inconsistencies or torquing of the assembly. You may have to add additional support to the bell crank depending on the style. If anything even moves a 1/16" out of sync with the other carbs, it will not run right and changing jetting will not fix it.

Good luck,

Jim

Thanks for the help. I noticed the linkage has some ‘slop’ to it. Is there a good recommendation for a more precise or tighter throttle linkage that I can go to?

As to the other posts about the cam, I have read that Webers like a milder cam. Like I said I don’t know what cam is in it but it’s not radical. Very easy idle so I would assume it should be no problem with the Webers.

Post a picture of the throttle linkage so we know what you are working with. There different linkage setups available.
