weber 32/36

[Guest Anonymous]

recently installed a 32/36 on my wife's 2002A 1975. Since then have been changing plugs monthly. They get loaded with fuel. According to the idle and mixture settings, the carb is jetted too lean (almost 3-4 turns out for the mixture screw to get the best lean idle). Also, can't get the choke to work consistently.

I'm a real novice, so any advice would be helpful.

issue, especially with unburned fuel fouling the spark plugs. Some of the Weber's have brass floats and they do develope holes and even crack or break in half, happened to me with a '74 2002 some 15 years ago or so, the brass float split in half, had the same spark plug problem you're describing. The choke, you'll just have to play with to get to your liking. You need to loosen the 3 choke housing bolts ( slotted screw driver )and turn the housing until the plates close to about a coins thickness, do this first thing in the morning. Take the air element off, don't start the car but depress the gas pedal once and see if the plates closed, might take a few mornings to get it right. I'd be tempted to check the float though.

float levels for the dgv with the brass float, 41mm and 51mm; plastic float, 35mm and 51mm. Too high a level can overrun the well and dump raw fuel into the throttle bore. There are 2 checks on float setting, the point at which the float is nearest the float bowl cover and the farthest point it can travel from the cover. I don't know what else would cause raw fuel to foul the spark plugs, maybe choke related too though.

1) Timmer's suggestion.

2) Choke may be taking too long to shut off and it runs rich too long.

3) Something in your ignition began needing attention at the same time you installed the carb. (need hotter spark)

4) Auxilary venturis loose. When they are loose they bounce around and who knows what they're doing in regards to fuel atomization. The way to fix that is to pull them out, and lightly tap the OPPOSITE end that the fuel enters with a hammer so the aluminum bulges out just enough to make it a tight fit.

5) Carb was jetted wrong. You say you adjusted it lean, but is that at idle? The progression and main fuel circuits are entirely different.

Werify that it's completely open when warm.
