GR has showed me some Chinese 45s, says they are very well made (they look it), and the downdraft ones are used on a lot of race Mazda rotaries now.
OTOH, the recent Spanish ones......
@gtogreen, IMO weberperformance are just protecting their patch.

Anyone know anything about these Webers? Looking at their $360 carb on eBay as my mate had had trouble dialing in the current 45. Thought I'd start from 'new'. As an update we had Barney spinning like a top on the dyno and then dropped a cylinder. Head coming off and going is a burnt valve or head gasket. |

Old mate from procarb tells me the fajs is just as good. Chux is yours definitely one of these $350 deals? I get the same sense about Weber Performance doc. |

I've spoken to the weber guy a few times. He seems a crusty old so and so. Was closing down his Sydney operation and centering all in melb when I spoke to him. |

But to save some hassle do you know the specs of what jets etc you have? |

Why not pull the carb off and take it around to GR's for advice? Sounds like the idle jets may be too big. I run a Dellorto 45DHLA not a Weber but jetting is very similar. I have 52 idle jets, 180 air correctors, 170 main jets. Pump jets 50. Chokes are 36mm. When I had 38 chokes in, mains were 175. [edit] the jets you have may have been drilled out previously, depending who set the carb up...! Check.... |

Pay the money and have it done right, rather than trying to get a guy that doesn't know minis to sort it out. Greig will do it right. |
