Depending on your elevation the jetting will vary but your primary main should be around 100 then your air correction will be larger in high altitude or smaller in low altitude. And you will also need to dial in the idle jets... If you notice any stumbling taking off from a stop then it's your idle jet. Best thing to do is buy a wide band o2 sensor and tune yourself or take it to a dyno shop and they can tune it on the dyno and it will be perfect.

I also used the sami weber and worked right out of the box, but I was was crazy rich. I went from the 140 main to a 100 and the back of my car was black after about 1 month of driving, plus my mileage went down to about 32mpg once I rejected I was averaging 38 with 4 adults in it driving 80mph 140 miles a day

NP guys, Spike, I was really floored that it worked perfeclty 'right out of the box'. I haven't adjusted anything on the carb.

I'll go grab some pics...

Thanks for the info 95Compact, I would love to see some pictures of the finished product. Weber carb with a dickmeyer header, no cat, 2" exhaust must be sweet.

Got the adapter two days ago, and ordered the Sammy kit last night.

Once again, can't wait.

I got the Samurai kit because it comes jetted for a 1.3L I-4, not the 'stock jets', which I gathered are roughly right for a 2.2l engine (replacing the jets would cost about $60). Also, the kit comes with vacuum plugs, fuel line, and the $25 air cleaner.

drumnerd33, are you sure I'll need to rejet the Samurai Weber kit? Seems to be running perfectly...

BTW, I'm going to be installing my LM-1 Wideband O2 Sensor - probably this weekend, so I'll be able to get some real data =)

^ +1. I'm curious, why did you go with the Sami kit specifically?

[drumnerd33]

You are gonna want to rejet the carb, it will run with the jets that are in it but you will be way rich and burn Alot more fuel then needed and you will notice the black crap that builds up on the back of your car.

BTW, ignore the Fuelly MPG in my signature - that was the MPG I was getting before the new Weber carb!

darkfact, I'll chime in because I just installed mine yesterday with Rocketman's adapter.

My friend and I removed all of the old carb and vaccum system insanity, installed the 32/36 DGEV (Suzuki Samurai Kit - $230 on Ebay)) and my '88 started up on the first try. We were blown away that we didn't even need to adjust the idle speed!

The throttle cable bracket was the only thing I needed to fabricate. Also, all the old vacuum ports on the intake manifold have to be plugged (I used 'loops' of hose, plus the caps that came with the Weber kit) and you have to reroute the valve cover vent to the new air cleaner (1/2" tubing).

There is no problem with hood clearance.

I drove the car today and it is wonderful, I was fuly expecting to have to tinker with the new Weber before getting it to work right, but I haven't had to at all.

Ordered a few days ago.

Rocketman, are your weber Adapters for $70 a 100% bolt on solution with no additional fab work required? And also, is there any issue fitting it under a stock Festiva hood?

[95Compact]

Ordered!
