I went looking for Weber info (as an alternative to the high cost of solex
carbs) and found very little. There is no Weber manifold for the U20 so you
have to have a solex manifold. The linkage works backwards, push instead of
pull. Neither of these are major problems. The general consensus from
those that I spoke to is that the Weber's can never quite get dialed in
right. I think this is likely a problem related to taking time to set them
up properly as they seem to run well on Z cars. The problem is that for
most application you can call the Weber tech line and they will give you a
set up that gets you in the ballpark. With the roadster they have no such
info to share. The flat spots and such that the Weber's experience in all
likelihood comes from not having the right emulsion tube (Jet block in solex
speak). Weber lists 16 different emulsion tubes at least a dozen of which
are possibilities for the roadster. With so many choices it seems certain
that you could find the right set up but it might take a very long time to
come up with it. It's also possible, though I would think unlikely, that
there isn't a good emulsion tube for the roadster. There just doesn't seem
to be much info out there.
BTW the 45 DCOE would be the equivalent of the 44PHH solex

3. Not enough talk about Weber carbs -- does
anyone run 40-DCOE's?,
