Car Forum / MINI / October 2003weber carb and air filter
hi all, well i bought another mini a week ago and its got a weber carb but i found out that the choke isnt connected and more that there is no air filter!!! is this normal ?! if not please advise on wot kinda air filter is needed and how to connect the choke. Haynes manual desnt suppoer weber carbs so am stuck many thanks > hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > many thanks IMHO If its for road use then ditch the webber and fit a suitably sized SU... TTFN, Dave Sell the webber on Ebay and more than make the money to get an 1 3/4 SU The Muffin Man > > hi all, > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > TTFN, > Dave What model Weber is it? There are side-draft and down-draft types and of course each model within the two basic types has a model number. If you're unsure look around on the web for pictures. The Pierce Manifold site is a good start. Here's the URL: http://www.webercarburators.com/weberexplode.htm Cheers, Kelley >hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >many thanks hiya my brother in laws van puts out 94hp with an HIF44 carb, ditch the webber and get a 44 fragged > hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > many thanks thanks for the responses. well i got the carb fitted in the mini when i bought it and to be honest i find it picks up speed better than my other 1275 with an SU carb. However i am selling this mini and seems like not many people are interested due to the carb but i also mentioned to them that it also comes with an SU carb with it so whoever buys it can swap it or do whatever. > hiya > my brother in laws van puts out 94hp with an HIF44 carb, ditch the webber [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > > > many thanks > hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > many thanks I've just bought a 45mm side-draft weber for my cooper s. The guy who's just done up the head for me (wasn't a genuine s head, so got full porting job + 'mk1 S spec' valves) insists that the Weber is much more versatile than an SU. Whether they're better seems to be debatable though, but at least they sound good. I'm told that if you've got a hot cam, you can get a smoother idle with a weber - we'll see... Apparently you don't need the choke, because of the Weber's built-in throttle pump - just give it a couple of pumps before you start, then let it warm up a bit before you take off and you're fine. As for the air-filter, its probably a case of what will fit. Mine came with a Ramflo filter as that's one of the only types that will fit (with the 3.5" manifold) without cutting a hole in the firewall (bulkhead) Geoff You can't beat flooding the carb instead of having a choke. On my triumph motorbike it has a "tickle switch" which is essentially a button that empties the petrol tank into the carb and squirts a bit everywhere. With the straight through pipes I run I have had some really good flames shooting out when you kick it off. ;) The Muffin Man > > hi all, > > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Geoff
