fitting a 32/34 weber to a 1.4 sr

[NikosNova]

I have just bought a 32/34 weber carb and am wanting to fit it to the car. Has the adapter plates etc so it fits, but i cant get the old carb off. There are the 4 screws on top and two bolts that u can take off. apart fdrom these i cant see any other stuff to take off that will release the carb.
bought a haynes manual today, if anyone knows page numbers etc or who have done this job before please tell me :)

cheers

i managed to get the carb off. its weird now toh as i have an adapter plate so it will fit over the studs that hold the pierburg carb in place. But there are no stud holes on the weber 32/34 for the studs to go through, so they dont actually fit. will i need a new inlet manifold?

cheers

1300 inlet manifold I believe

Not unless you run a 1.2 or 1.3Head.

You need to take the studs out to fit the weber, then the adaptor bolts into the holes that theyre in, and the weber bolts to that.

you do learn something everyday...

didnt think the 32/34 fitted the 1.4 manifold...!

LOL

[NikosNova]

lol oh well

ill either sell it or just get a 1.3 manifold

U can't just swap ur 1.4 manifold for a 1.3 item, u would have to swap the head aswell because of the different shaped ports (1.4 = square ports, 1.3 = rounded ports).

The 1.3 and 1.4 inlets have the same mounting points for the pierburg carb anyway.

When u remove the pierburg u should be left with 3 long studs sticking out the inlet.

U need to remove these then mount the weber adapter plate in there place.

The weber then fits to the adapter plate.

if aimed at me...yeah I know...just didnt know they fitted the 1400 manifolds also

hmmm ok then, by the looks of it those studs could just do with shortening so the adapter plate can bolt on to em and then the weber on to the plate.

easy job? lol

take them out , dont shoten them

tap with a big hammer on the top of the stud while twisting with a pair of mole grips , usually gets then out no fuss

yeah, makes sense though cause both manifolds have identical carb's, so they will have identical mountings.

To get those 3 rods out after u took the carb off, just unscrew them, without snapping them off. U need to use the thread to screw the new bolts in.

1300 and 1400 manifolds did not all have identical carbs, lol

anyway what was the point in saying that :?

[benji]

they both had a pierburg 2e3. the tops of the manifold are the same. i have one of each in the garage and the bit the carb bolts to are identical.

i will dig out my instructions for fitting the carbs.

ok so the 1.4 ones had the fuel return built into the carb :lol:

[rgv_stu]

hmm
all the post 85 1300/1400 had the same manifold if you want to be real picky :lol:
anyway who gives a shit :lol:

just bolt it on and stop worrying
i fitted mine in less than half hour on tuesday nite

[Barn]

yeah exactly...who gives a f uck...

i know a boy with a pre 85 1.3 and I was sure his was different

i got a 32/34 to go on my next car myself...!

make a difference Rick ?

[rgv_stu]

yeah its worse :lol:
the pre 85 1.3's had a single choke pierburg 1b1 like the 1200

[Barn]

Yes! hahaha

Thanking you

Sorry mate I meant the 32/34...those 1b1 are wank compared to the twin choke
