DOWNDRAUGHT WEBER QUESTION

[Wessie]

i've never worked on/played with one of these before but one was fitted to a mini i bought and i want to sell the carb so ignore my stupidity !

 

its got 28/36 on the side so i assumed it was a 28/36 but when i look down the chokes i can see the numbers 26 and 27 cast into the sides? is this relevant to anything?

 

and is it better then a 28/32 ? bigger chokes etc ?

 

thanks

i might be wrong about this but: i think the smaller numbers are the choke size (venturi diameter) and the larger pari of numbers are the throttle plate diameters...... i think.

Yep, Choke sizes, 26 and 27mm

They are a good carb, fully tuneable as EVERYTHING cvan be changed, where I think the the other similar, larger carba are not as tuneable, I used to bore the secondarys out to 30mm or 32mm cant remember, its a Long time ago, somewhere in one of my books I have rough tuneing guide for the 28/36 with jet and emulsion sizes
