    If I were to do the swap for the weber, which one would I need? Would it still pass smog here in Cali? Is it relatively easy to change it out and would I need to add anything? Would it solve my rough idle issue?

    Look at these threads about which Weber to get, what's needed additionally and what the installation involves:
    http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin...869-Weber-swap
    http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin...ebber-carb-kit
    http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin...10-Weber-32-36

    There are many other threads and posts concerning the Weber, so search the site. There's a wealth of information available to answer all your selection and installation questions.

    Will it solve the rough idle issue? It should IF the problem is due to the Mikuni. It very well could be especially if the Mikuni is original, but all other possible causes (electrical, fuel delivery, compression, etc.) should to be checked and eliminated so you don't risk replacing the Mikuni because of some other fault.

    I don't know the Cali emission rules so I can't say for certain if the Weber could pass the smog tests. That's a question for your local DMV and other California members who have considered or made the conversion.

    The Weber should pass a tailpipe sniffer test when properly tuned/jetted, but obvs. it would fail a visual inspection requiring all original-type equipment, not sure if that's required everywhere in Cali or just the major metros.

    This web-page about Cali smog testing lists the 40 of 58 counties that require testing. Unfortunately for GluttonforGloom it includes Kern County of which Bakersfield is the county seat.
