Has anyone fitted a weber single carb conversion kit from just kampers. Been recommend by my garage to replace twin carbs, any advice?

DON'T !

Welcome to the forum btw

Ian

Aircooled?
No. no. no.
If you have to replace go for twin Delorto DRLA carburettors... instant grin factor, you'll never go back

the weber will make your van go even slower

Yup kev and Ian are spot on. That Weber is pants. Either gosee Steve at www.gasure.co.uk to get the solexs refurbed or see Jim at stateside tuning for a dellorto ki.

can anyone tell me what the differance mph would be between solex carbs & the single webber, i have a webber & the solex are playing up so i am thinking of changing them:?:

from double to single?
like above... don't.

If you're chasing greater mph then twin Dells are the way to go apparently, if however you're after greater mph & mpg then you've bought the wrong van.

Ian

Twin dells give a slight mpg increase too.

I have a webber twin choke & would like to know if anyone has any photos of one fitted

My mate had one, he went to town REALLY trying to get it to work and spent loads of time and money with Weber themselves trying to sort it. ... it's back in it's box and the Pierburg is back on and running just fine.

Ian

as ian says they truely are gash, dont waste your money.

And it won't be the first or last time that this question will get asked. Even on type 2's, the webber was a terrible choice. At one time I amassed nine of them - all removed after much frustration and expense by their owners. To be fair they can be MADE to work but it then becomes a full time hobby nursing the thing along. Webbers and 009 dizzies have no place on a stock engine. They simply don't match without endless fettling.
