Weber vs Zenith linkage

Post by AngelPantoja »

Hi folks! Here I am again after eight years since I restored my LWB Haflinger. Few weeks ago I started my second Haflinger project, this time one SWB ´61 first unit sold in Spain.
The problem I have is the carburettor linkage as the factory set had a Zenith carburettor and now I am going to install a Weber.
I tried to conect the throttle rod but I noticed that Weber lever travels diffrence angle and doesn´t work well. Don´t care about choke, but thorttle rod smooth running is very important for driving the car!
Has anyone made any conversion or found any adjustment..?
Thanks in advance for your help :mrgreen:

What was wrong with the Zenith?

I am confused as I thought the Zenith was only fitted to later Haflingers and that a '61 would have had a Solex or a Weber. Are you sure your Weber is for a Haflinger? It is possible that if it was for some other vehicle that the arm is a different length and that is why you are having issues with the length of travel provided.

The other aspect is the Weber has a different inlet manifold to the Zenith.
