I know this is my first post, but I've been looking at other posts for many months. I've been looking since I bought my son an 85 Carbed Automatic Accord.
I researched the rough running problem I had and decided that instead of overhauling the Keihin Carb and the octopus of vacuum lines, I'd try my hand at weber.
I actually found a 32/36 that was meant for a Suzuki Samari (since someone had success on here with one of their throttle linkages from Suzuki) as an Open Box discount on Amazon. I had to buy an adapter plate still, but I still managed to come out ahead if I would have bought the accord kit.
I recommend getting a weber if you are on the fence. It went in super easy and I followed the choke adjustment procedure and lean idle procedure before I fired it up. It only was off a little. The Samarai linkage was perfect.
The only problem I had was the ported vacuum switch busted when I took off the original vacuum line (I thought I'd replace the 30 year old lines w/ new). I ended up trying to install 3 ported vacuum switches before I figured out they didn't need much torque. (Rockauto is where I got the part).
Thanks to all who have posted before me. If it weren't for you guys on 3geez, I'm sure I wouldn't have been nearly as successful.
