I replaced the Ford VV carb on a 1.6 Pinto with a twin weber taken from a 2.0 Pinto Capri. (VV was knackered)
These are the details of the weber : WEBER 32/36 DGAV
MARKINGS ON BASE ASSEMBLY =
32/36 017503 DGAV -303MARKINGS ON UPPER ASSEMBLY TAG= BRESSEL WEBER
77HF AD D3L 23So this DGAV is jetted for a 2.0. But I haven't adjusted or re-jetted, but it seems to perform prefectly well on the 1600cc after a few weeks of road use. What expected problems SHOULD (have) be(en) present ?
If I wanted to jet this for a 1.6 how would I go about it ? off the shelf replacement parts ? Cost ?
Also... The mechanical fuel pump has been bypassed and a SU type electric pump is fitted in the rear of car. This worked fine with the VV carb, but the DGAV weber required plumbing of a fuel return line. So even when engine is off (ignition on) the SU pump ticks every 1.5sec due to a small amount of fuel being returned to tank, the speed increases slighty on engine idle. Will this SU (solid state replacement) pump continue to be happy with this constant (although very slow) running ? So far the pump is doing the job.
