hi mate,
the weber on Myn lookslike a cortina one, its all down to the actual jets inside the carb as to how nicely it will run.
mine has a tiny flatspot when you first push the throttle but I put this down to the fact I bought it off ebay and who knows how long it had been sitting (only just put it on as the solex's economy was getting scary)

I put a 28/36 Webber on my Mk2,had it re-coned first,but i reccon i could have bought a new one seeing the re-con cost £100+.Cant remember the firm,but the bloke said they had them in stock.

Had to turn the thottle link on the carb around if i remember correctly.And had to pull the choke cable back sideways to get tension on it,to allow it to work.Thing is,i dont use choke to get it going with this Webber. I find by pumping the pedal down slowly a few times,this gets it firing up,then i use use the choke to keep it ticking over until warm.

Thanks everyone for you feedback.

I contacted weber and they advised me to buy a 32/36 DGV carb. So I have bought one new (original) from the USA for £140 inc air filter and postage!

I think the alterations rusty nuts describes will be the same for this carb.

I may be back soon asking for more help!
