Hi all quick question bought a cheap weber 32 dar7 off a junkyard fuego 1.6 did all the gaskets and seals (also cleaned in acid solution before assembly) and it ran like **** i suspect the jets being too big was part of the reason but it had a missing choke so i would like to ask if there is anyone here who has experience running a different carb on a stock 135 engine without needing to play with jetting since i am trying to squeeze a little more power outta her before she gets a fully built 1.6 liter from a felicia i have laying round.

Weber or Jikov, with the correct jets for the engine.

Parts from a Ren No will not work.

the weber from the renault mounted up fine and worked with a little custom made throttle cable mount but bogged like hell and could not be adjusted no matter how much do did to it so i switched back to the original pierburg 2e3. The jikov is not really on my want list since i have 10 of them laying around even have one on my 136 swapped estelle and she runs good but i dont really want a manual choke carb on my favorit nor do i want to go around trying to convert it to an automatic choke if thats even possible so i am looking for something that works pretty well off the shelf i know i am asking for a lot but i am totally in the dark about re-jetting carbs for a favorit engine. If anyone knows what jet sizes i can run on this engine and is willing to post them down below id appreciate it and also i am willing to buy a new weber but id prefer one with an electric choke.

Sorry I haven't a clue about Webers, never been a fan but I have only had one FoMoCo copy, so just general comments.

If you have not already done so you could have a look at the relevant forums' threads or do a search, often best to do that via Google that brings you back to Briskoda. I am sure I posted something about a 110R carb but it wasn't a Weber (perhaps I replied to you, I found a 110R carb supplier, IIRC).

Back in the day when say Ford went over to auto-choke in UK they were troublesome and some/many(?) were converted to manual choke. Manual choke doesn't take a lot of learning and becomes instinctive when you get used to it on a particular car, set up well often you need not be on manual choke too long and very reliable.

If you have the carb big enough you might not need and choke, on advice I had to remove the choke flap on one car I had and I used that car as an everyday car over winter and summer (as I did with all my (20-50 years) old cars. One very hot day my wife flooded it by touching the accelerator pedal before or during firing the engine up, she should have remembered to just remove the air filter and let the fuel dissipate from the carb then it would have been fine but instead it was relayed home on the back of a low-loaded much to my neighbour's amusement as he had been the one to advise me to remove the choke flap. 😄

i am not the one who was looking for a 110r carb since i have a 1.4 mpi swap in my 110r so couldnt have been me and also i know about people modifying pierburgs for group A and they do infact remove the choke flaps and most people who used had a favorit told me to just hook it up to a manual wire so i can turn it on and off any time since they do tend to get stuck closed or open but i dont really want to fiddle with a manual one and i really do want to keep a choke since the weather gets cold round my neck of the woods sometimes but i would pleased enough if i could find a document or post about the jet size limits for a stock 135 engine since i have 0 clue about rejetting in general and would like to rejet the stock pierburg or just get a weber of some kind with a electric choke preferably and do the rejetting with correct jet sizes

I didn't think it was you but wasn't sure.

People who know about tuning or Weber carbs would probably know or have a good idea about what might be used on stock vehicles as you have to have a starting point to work from so if you know any motorsports or racers or tuning people you could ask them particularly for stock and not competing against them.

Or you could try asking some place like Eurocarb as you may well need to buy a box of the various sizes as it can be about experimentation within a couple of sizes as there are so many possible variations even with "stock" (as I would imagine, but don't know, the stock cars never had Webers)and things like fuel have changed over past decades and possibly you might have also changed the ignition system. But I am no expert and only have a little experience of SUs (whereas a friend is used to Weber and won't accept he is running his SUs unnecessarily too rich and wonders why they are not more economical than the Weber as most people (correctly) claim on that particular model and age of car).

It might be personal choice but Webers aren't always the correct or best answer unless sometimes a fast road or competition car is wanted and daily use and fuel consumption is of little consideration - though the weber(s) do sound nice with foot down.
