Hi Jamie,

Thanks heaps for that bit of info.

I already have the Weber 393 book as that is what I used to rebuild the carb.

I have since played around with the float height as I was having heaps of trouble starting dead cold. I think there is no fuel in the carby in the mornings meaning I'd be pumping the accelerator and cranking away before the thing would start (my car has a mechanical fuel pump)... the choke is working fine so it wasn't that. But a little play around with the float fixed that up a little.

Funnily enough the 45 idle jet works fine, smooth idle and smooth power delivery all the way to about 2500RPM. I feel it dipping in power a little up there but by that time I just open up throat 2 and floor it. I think the little dip in power between 2500RPM and 3000RPM is the engine leaning out but once past that little dip it powers through fine.. am I correct in this assumption? If so I was thinking on going on a smaller Air corrector jet or different e-tube... on the primary barrel(I wish they had a properscale for these damn e tubes too!!) would this be correct?

Other than this slight annoying dip in the power band at full throttle witht he second throat open above 3000RRM the car feels 100x better than the standard carbie.

The adapter I'm using isn't made up of 2 seperate o's either but instead one big oval. I don't know if this is what you meant by "hogging" a manifold. But the adaptor plate is quite smooth and matches the ports pretty closely.

I was thingking of port matching while the manifolds were off but I think the gains versus the trouble would have probably been not worth it. In my 18R crappy non crossflow the intake and exhaust manifolds are basically on top of one another and gets the intake manifold and carby quite hot too... I think this one one big problem as I have a feeling the pertol is just boiling away in the carby. The standard shielding is doing crap all in blocking heat so at the moment I'm thinking of other ways other than wrapping the exhaust headers with some heat shielding tape.... the big problem is that I think they are attatched and touching each other and no matter what I wrap the exhaust headers with the heat will still transfer over because thay are attatched!!... I'll double check the celica haynes manual again... but that's another one of my problems.

My carby has a port for vacum advance and I am using it. I haven't tried upping the timing yet... I don't really want to hurt the engine like that yet Wink

As far as the idle jet for the secondary port... In the haynes manual for the 32/36 it's used to meter the fuel going out of the progression holes in the second barrel.

When I got the carby the standard setting were quite rich for me as well. I also managed to grab a few other jets from another older weber carby my dad had laying around.

As for near redline rpm's 5000RPM - 6000RPM ... I think the engine could do with a bit more fuel.. but I want to get that dip fixed first. I problems with the carby popping is very rare and only happens when I'm tring to do a first start of the day on the car.... I think I it might have been too much pumping??

Oh well... time for some more experimentation and saving up for a new car maybe!!
