Question
where can i find diagrams of the hoses that i need to keep and the ones i need to plug? The new weber 34 has three inlets while the carter has 5 or six. Want to make sure I attach the right hoses to the right part of the carb. thanks, greg
Sorry Greg,
You're on your own. Some of the vacuum hoses operate emission devices. I don't like telling people how to modify their vehicle by eliminating emission stuff. There should be a hose routing diagram under the hood showing where the original hoses should go. Try to determine whether the hose is manifold vacuum or ported vacuum, then route them according to the diagram.
I have never converted a Carter to a Weber for street use.
