Weber 32/36 throttle linkage modification help

[88Accord-DX]

I need some help on making this throttle linkage work the right way. I basically put the linkage on with no modification so I could get it to run & get it home after a long day of putting it on.

I don't want to mess the one stock throttle lever I have doing this, so can someone that has made this modification work explain how it's done? The "right way" in the very bottom pic looks like a stock lever with the weber one bolted together. I done cut the little tab off the cable that goes into the stock lever. Hopefully I'm not screwed on making this work.

Here is what I got, but would like to make it look like the bottom pic. I don't like the flattened throttle with pins in it for the weber linkage. ( I know the return spring is missing, I have to find a shorter one)

none of my pictures on the forum really gives a good look at that, I will take some and post them up.
I used the cresent shaped cable retainer on the oem carb, drermeled it to trim it to fit, then bolted it to the weber piece you have. Ultimately I think steel rivets would be better and lighter.

Like Roodoo said, I used the OEM cam. I used a file (although a dremel would work) to open up the center hole alittle to fit on the weber shaft. Obviously the saft isn't round but squared of on the edges, but you know that. I cut off the tab on the indside of the cam. I don't remember if I cut this off because it would interfere with something or just for asthectic purposes.
Good luck.. Once you get a chance to look at it you'll be able to figure it out.

Ok, I got the concept. You have to dremel the stock lever to fit on the weber. Also, I need to drill a hole lower on the mounting plate to be in-line with the lever.

I found these pics on here. 2nGenGuy, can you get your throttle open all the way with this setup?

I also found your throttle setup roodoo2. If I turn my head sideways, I can see what you got. :lol:
Where did you get that breather at & what kind of price do them run?

I definatley do not like that first one unless that was a nylock nut on the end so the eyelet could move freely.
On mine it is a rig too but it works good the only thing is it is heavy. Notice the chevy part? lol

I dont think I made another hole but I did have to open one up a little.

I got the breather with the carb, I think it came from carbs unliimited.

^^^ That's mine! It works fine, because the shaft pivots inside the hole on that butterfly-wing shaped part, whatever you call it... You just have to find the right thickness of washers to use on both sides of that thing, or else it gets really sloppy. It's really hard to get that linkage tight. But it is what comes with the carb... And I've got it on both my 1gee and 2gee. I've been using it for 2-3 years now without problems.

That air filter is a "Ramflow" type filter. Here we go:

not criticizing your rig, I certainly have no room to do that! I did mention that the eyelet should be moving freely or it would be hard on the cable retainer.

In the pic it looks like the cable rubs on the first bolt, but it does not even touch it. Cygnus I never even cleaned off the intake mani. but it has not leaked any fuel there as you can see.. I used two top hat gaskets to fix that defect.
I just took the pic a minute ago. The only fuel issue I have is puddling in the bottom of the plenum, and the fuel line I used was for FI so it does not work well with worm clamps at the filter. Not leaking now but it has.

I know you weren't criticizing, just givin ya a hard time... :devil:

But srsly, it does seem to work OK. Actually, on the 1gee, I have a zip tie holding the eyelet on in place of that nut. So it pivots freely on that one. The zip tie was supposed to be temporary, but it's worked so well, I haven't bothered to take it off.

Yeah, I remember awhile back you were describing it. Glad to hear you got the leaking under control. I think when I first rebuilt it and put on a new gasket it was ok. But then after 20-30 jetting changes I think it was just too smashed to work very well. And being rained on probably didn't help either.

Ya know, I was recently reading about fuel puddling in the bottom of carb manifolds. Apparently it's pretty much expected that some fuel will puddle. Heating the manifold, texturing the surface, and making sure there is enough flow/turbulence will all help reduce puddling.

I would be interested in your sources for that reading. There was a link here A20A1 posted up but I have to remember where it was. I would like turbulance explained so I can follow the theory and then how did edlebrock and offy do their open speardbore type manifolds.
I am about to be finished with the egrdomy manifold project, will be wrapping it up this week and installing it on the b20a. I will have to use adapters this go around so I can get things going but I will be doing something about some texture or surface right under the carb.
