weber 32/34

[ade]

Had the SR about 10 days now and It's using a feck load of petrol - averaging about 300 miles on a tank. Figured it should be at least 380.

The cars idle is about 1200-1500 afetr the choke kicks out (stays at 2000-2500 for about 15 mins!).

Everyone keeps telling me to fit a weber 32/34 on manual choke.

I have the above carb - bought it to fit to my old 1.4 but the manifold leaked. I've got a replacement manifold and the inlets been modified to make one opening rather than the 2 but what I need to know is will the 1.4 manifold and the weber fit on to my 1.3 engine?

Been told 1.2-1.3 and 1.4's are all pretty much the same - so is it simply a case of clean faces, bolt on, fit choke and get set up on rolling road?

Use the 1.3sr inlet.

Fit the adaptor plate and 32/34 to that.

You also need a barrel end throttle cable off a 1.2 if i remembemr rightly.

Yes. Plumb it in correctly too. Theres no return pipe from the carb, so 'T' in the return line, pre-carb on the feed pipe.

Also be carefull if using a K&N filter that any bolts on top dont smack the bonnet when you close it.... Tell-tale a Weber has been fitted.

drive slower, it saves much petrol.

1.3 and 1.4 inlet ports are different shapes, but it'll still run

lol - I do drive slowly - simply because my brakes are sh1te!

The choke and idle on the pieberg are too high imo.

Cheers for the info guys - intend using the bin lid and I actually have the correct choke cable from when my old 1.2 was converted to a 1.4 with a weber on it so have all the parts.

However am currently working on replacing the front wings and upper slam panel so once thats done will swap the carb...

i think i have the throttle cable kicking about you can have ade if you need it.

You can drop the idle yourself, there's an adjustment screw on the throttle linkage.
