I took my Weber 40 IDF off my 1600DP because I could never get it to run good! Always cleaning out the idle jets and it was running real rich. I switched back over to the stock carb and also have a 009 dizzy with compufire ignition. any secrets to making it good offroad? So far It runs great, but havent really pushed it offroad yet. Any tips would be great

Run a 4" rubber hose to extend that brass spill over tube inside the top of it. And take the gold looking anti dieseling gadget off the side and clip the copper rod off. When it goes bad it won't idle. Oil your butterfly bushings b4 every ride. When they wear they make bad intake leaks. And do not run the old oil bath air cleaner off road. Use 1 of those washable KnN filters. |

I'm not sure what you are talking about with the anti diesel gadget though. LOL |

No have to pull it out. There is a small moving end on it. cut that off then put it back. Then your good. |

Just clip the wire off or plug it back up. Old solex's are bad about butterfly bushings going bad. Spray ether on them and see if it idles up for a second er 2. |

It will load up unburnt gas and wash the oil out of his rings. Then he looses compression and it becomes even harder to burn fuel. Then oil burning starts. Gas and oil fouled plugs. Hard to crank. Lost power. Unburned gas mixes and thins his oil and wears his bearings. My gripe theses days is $10/gal racing fuel in my a/c . My water cools love cheap pump gas. The computerized Passat adjusts timing so it can burn any gas plus it is very efficient. |
