Weber Direct is NOT Weber Carbs Direct, correct?

The firm that sold me the Solex in 2007 marketed as a genuine Weber is located in Long Island, New York. (Hauppage) They are Weber Carbs Direct.Originally Posted by Kaos731
Go with RedlineWeber in Torrence Ca. or Pierce Manifolds, also in Cali.
Both of these firms sell the genuine Webers with the Weber trademark cast into the body of the carb. (And are very helpful when you call them). The jamokes in Hauppage just want your money.
OK here is an update to this thread.
Weber DGEV 32/36 tuning for 2.6-
Here are the jetting specs for this carb on a 2.6L. Since this carb is sold for many, many different applications for a LOT of makes, your jetting out of the box will likely differ. But I spoke with a guy at Redline Weber, and he told me these were the jets that belong in the carb for my application.
Primary idle-60
Secondary idle-50
Main (primary) 130
Main (secondary) 135
Air Corrector (primary) 170
Air Corrector (secondary) 160
Single pump jet
This is for a bone stock motor.
I mentioned in another thread that these motors are prone to dieseling. They are. The only way to get cure it is to get the idle way down, below factory specs. What threw me initially was the factory setup had an "idle up solenoid" for the A/C along with positive fuel shut off when you turn off the key. No doubt some guys like to play with tools more than I do. I get that. But I'm not about to screw with it anymore for that. I may still try cut-off idle jets, because I have 2. Maybe I'll screw with it some more in that regard if I'm bored one day.
The Carter P4070 lasted only 6 months. I upgraded to an Airtex E8004. It's MUCH quieter and (hopefully) is a more durable pump. I cut apart the fuel filter I had installed above in March '14 but it was not stopped up. So either I got a bad one, or it is just a POS. I know several here run or have run them, but the Airtex cost half again as much, so I have to think it was a "you get what you pay for" deal. The Carter has kind of a Mickey Mouse mounting so...

Since I had put a lot of thought into the first pump installation, switching over to the Airtex E8004 was pretty much a piece of cake. Just had to drill a few extra holes in the mounting plate.
My thoughts on the electric pump are mixed. You don't HAVE to have one with a Weber IMO, the factory mechanical pulsations through the fuel line may not be bad enough to negatively affect the needle and seat, I don't know. What I DO know is I ran the factory mechanical pump from 2007 until March 2014 and I saw no real difference whatsoever between the two. Getting the mechanical out of the way makes it easier to access the right front mounting nut on the Weber so that is enough reason to make it worthwhile to shit can the mechanical. Use a factory gasket or insulator to outline a block off plate out of sheet steel and make gaskets.

Happy motoring.
