Now Jonno you didn't listen to the instructions properly, when you pull the string across the back tires you have to look carefully at where the string sits relative to the front tyres. My's and L's have rear wheel alignment problems, from being adjusted while being used (big rocks). Provided this i...

As long as all the parts of the choke are working, they are relatively easy to set up. Make sure the pull off diaphragm is set up correctly and works. I can be simpler to set the choke flap so it is fully open (just) when the motor is warm and the diaphragm is also pulling it open. Make sure the cho...

Careful when you undo the bolts that hold the engine cross member on, the nuts can be weathered (tight) and are relatively soft. Make sure you lubricate the thread and keep your socket straight, a slight angle on it may burr the nut, then its cutting time. The rest can be similar, but not as bad, ju...

The beauty of these carbie's is they have a million (well almost) jets and adjustments. You can have a simple little play for curiosity (put your fingers near the biting things, not too close), but it needs a dyno and scope and an EG analyser to get serious results. Oh and someone that knows what th...

By dropping the float level slightly you will lean out the progression mixtures. Raising it richens the progression mixtures. But WOT is jets, as long as the float level is in the ball park, exact float level makes little difference. From the motor size vs carbie size, it should be rich. Even settin...

Careful with your analysis of the crack between the valve seats. If it is only a minor crack with no signs of leaking (and the seats look good), provided you don't overheat the engine in the future, they will be fine. If the cracks go up into the port passages or show signs of leaking (stains around...

Some webers have an initial progression stage casting that can be drilled to suit your engine. This is a bit complicated, but it gives good economy and eliminates flat spots on initial progression. A lot of people just put bigger jets in, this solves the flat spot problem, but reduces efficiency/eco...

Weber carbs are very adjustable and can be set to work over a wide range. I had a Datsun 1600, L18 motor, "hot" cam, running 2 x twin 45DCOE Weber's. That's one 45 for each cylinder. Responsive, reasonable economy (relative to how hard you push the go pedal) and loved a rev. A good dyno tune was all...
