    Avoid JT Outfitters for phony weber knock offs. This company has a series of copycat autoparts and have changed names a few times. They are also known as JoeTLC. Those phony Weber carbs are actually pretty strange that they place a sticker on the carb saying it is a weber, but in actuality only that one part they stick the sticker on is branded as Weber, lol. Nice little scheme they got going to sell POS carbs. I got lucky and the one I purchased some years back I sold on Craigslist. I explained truthfully what the carb was and I couldn't get the truck to idle worth a damn and was not on my vehicle for more than a day. The guy understood and bought it anyway and put it on a Samurai.
    My conscience tells me what and what not to do and I definitely did not want this carb to return through my living room window so I gave him the low down on the thing which he knew pretty much on site of viewing the carb. Honesty was the best policy this time, lol.
    The weber I own now was made in Spain and what a piece of quality compared to the JT Outfitters POS. All I did was install the new carb and it ran perfectly.

    Alright it's back running again...LOL

    I think the problem I had was trying to put a primary jet into a secondary jet holder. I tried a secondary jet and it slid right in. I think they are slightly different in size.

    Like I said, the best word to describe how the truck liked the Spanish made Weber is it became "energized". Goofing around on a road test and it actually chirped the RR tire. Ha ha.

    The air cleaner is coming from Pacific should be here first part of the week.

    The next obstacle is to overcome the throttle cable and throttle shaft interference issue. The threaded rod that houses the cable is about an inch too long and has to be cut off about an inch so they wont interfere with each other.

    The surging is gone, even with only rudimentary adjustments done so far.

    You only go through this shit for someone or something you love- that's the god's honest truth...

    From what I have learned this week is to make sure the carb has the Weber name and trademark cast into it and it should also say "made in Spain" somewhere on it also. If it doesn't have that- send it back before you even attempt to put it on. It is more than likely junk.
