weber carb pictures

[Beezeroni]

Does anyone have a few pictures of a weber 32 36 installed on their festiva? Im working on the swap and I am trying to get an idea of what it may look like when I get done.

Thanks,
Cal

There is this picture from a website in Australia. There are kits for sale from out there on ebay.

I'm curious, were you wanting to use the Weber carburetor or was there an issue which needed the current carburetor to be replaced?

The current carburetor needs rebuilt, but I saw where a few people recommended swapping to the Weber carburetor, and I was able to find one pretty cheap. I'm building the Festiva for a 24 hours of lemons race, and after seeing the conversion and realizing that I could take out a lot of the emissions stuff, and the computer, some sensors, some wiring, and a bunch of vacuum lines and potential headaches, I decided to go the route of the Weber.

My carburetor failed on my 1988 LX 5 Speed and I was unable to find a carburetor, and the weber conversion kit was too expensive, so I was able to find a similar carburetor for the 1987 Mazda 323 in the Asian markets. This is where I ordered mine from

It also seems to be available here

It's okay I guess. When the engine is cold, the throttle binds on a vacuum line which goes away as the engine warms up. Also, the performance is a little sluggish, but that may be because I have some vacuum lines that I was unable to attach as this carburetor didn't have the corresponding ports. Finally, this carburetor was able to bolt right on with minimal modifications. I would go with the weber as they say it performs well, but in a pinch, this Mazda carburetor will get the car moving again.

I put a ford escort , weber knockoff, on festy. Someone on here made a little intake manifold for me. It was way simpler than the factory carb.

I have run the Weber and the escort carb.I like the escort carb better.But next time would use a VW bug carb and a 1bbl. vw rabbit carb mounting flange..The adapter plates for the escort and Weber were simple to make.The bug carb would be even easier.When you decide on a carb.etc if you want I'll walk you through making the adapter.
