Weber Help on a Clipper

I have just taken delivery of a 32/34 DTML carb taken from a 1.8 caddy (told its a direct replacement for my engine and will not need re-jetting?)

and i was going to have a go at fitting it myself this weekend, anyone know of a step by step guide on how to do it ? is it difficult ? i was just going to remove the old carb and strap it on but i will get lost on were to put all the pipes so need some help

p.s. i am in the north east if anyone is around who can help ?

If you can come to manchester, i'll help fit it for you fella
Pete :wink:

are they difficult to fit ?

is it just a matter of pulling the old one off and reconnecting all the pipes ? accelerator and choke cables ?

will i need to drain the coolent or anything ?

Don't need to drain coolant or anything, just the water pipe that go to the carb that need changing and also the vacuum pipes
Once you have done these, case of just fitting carb, set your timing if it is out and start her up bud.
I will take pics of my 1.6 mk2 now and come back and post on here for you, same carb bud and setup, to show you what you need to do fella
Pete :wink:

This setup is used for both 1.6 & 1.8 Weber 32/34dtml carb from Pierburg conversions

Buy 2 t-piece pipes has shown in pic to fit your vacuum piping which you need to buy approx metre of , big arrows point to the t-pieces.
(1) goes to the vacuum ball
(2) links both t-pieces
(3) leads to servo pipe
(4) leads to back of carb
(Big Arrows) 2 x t-piece joints

(A) shows the water bypass method from metal water pipe direct to inlet manifold

Thats it fella
Best wishes

Don't forget, you will need the choke cable from the Caddy as well !

Doesn't bud, weber comes with one, unless he can get one from a citi golf or a 1.1 which has the switch on the choke cable to activate the choke light next to handbrake to let him know it's on

mine doesnt connect to the vacuum sphere is it required on a weber

Some people dont use them, i always have has they have been part of the vacuum setup on my golf's
