<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The problem with the Weber on this engine is that I have no idea what cam is being used. I also do not know how the aluminum head is flowing air. Maybe using a professional tuning the Weber on a dyno I could get the right combo of emulsion tubes, jets etc. Much simpler procedure with the SU carbs. Just one needle to get right and one nut to turn and a Gunson Colortune will tell me if the mixture is right. In any case the Weber is coming off and goes on the shelf.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mike MacLean<br></div><div><br></div>

I generally like Ant Anstead--still preferred Edd, though--but when
he called SUs 'rubbish' I almost threw my remote at the big screen.
Even a pro like Edd had to bring in a specialist to tune the Webers
on a Lambo.<br clear="none">

SUs are a simple, elegant design; compared to them fixed-choke carbs
with their multiple jets, accelerator pumps--a common failure
point--are a kludge. Both share common float valve/bowl issues.<br clear="none">

<div>We have removed several sets of Webers over the years on

<p>The Weber, or better two Webers (or DellOrtos) should be
fine. However they should be fitted with the correct jets
and venturies. Best to contact a MG forum, they will know.</p>
<p>Webers or DellOrtos are so much easier to maintain than
the SUs. A good book is Des Hammill's book How to Build
& Power Tune Weber & DellOrto DCOEE & DHLA
