Hey all, I've only just completed my engine swap to a G180 with webber and extractors, however it empties the fuel bowl way to fast. I only just get into the powerband in second gear and it dies. I've read Ben's website and am going to try running the fuel pump at 12V, however I was wondering if it was more likey to be someting in the carby? I'm hoping to get it right before resorting to taking it back to the carb-tech (which will cost $$$)

Any suggestings welcome
Greg

Most likely the seat (ie needle and seat), original ones are cross drilled to let more fuel in when the float and needle are down, I have never seen a cross drilled replacement one, so they dont let the fuel into the bowl as quick.

I dont know where to get them from either, but ask the carb shop, they probably have original ones, I use original seat with new needles.

check that the float level is not set to low. if this is fine try using a holley red with a reg set @ 4psi in the engine bay, keeping the stock pump as a pick up. you could even use a surge tank. this is what ive had to do for mine with twin webbers. hope it was some help

I'm not that knowledgable on the webber carbie, if it was the stocko one I'd be right (I have original workshop manuals that come in very handy). Whats the best/easiest way to check and adjust the float level?

Cheers

Just measure it with a decent ruler to check its within the specs on a weber rebuild/exploded parts diagram sheet i'm sure can be found on the net, well i found one in pdf format when i was lookin. And as for adjustment, small bending of the metal tab will do the job and is the correct way of doing it.
