This will help,

Look at i think page 3 it shows that what we thought was a power valve.

it is something different

This manual is a Very Good Reference for this carb

it give a some tuning info

Shows a High altude part that can be added to auto compensate for high altitudes.

This is a 27 meg file, but down loads fast

Link
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B85S9Tw ... edit?pli=1

I forgot Joe and I had come across that file a couple months ago :oops:
Real good info in it.

West, check my signature. I have a link there how to use the gallery.
This single carb info is great stuff and needs to be kept out in the open, putting it in the gallery ensures the info won't get lost buried somewhere in the discussions.
 
this carb top ..shows the vents to bowl ...strait inline with air cleaner mount and the other just lower on right deeper in top its visable if you look ....im not so sure this is good either if westgl DFT is not like this

this is a pic of vented top ..one on right ..inline with cleaner mount ..on right just below deep in top ....not sure this is good if the DTF is not this way
 
Go to https://www.webercarbsdirect.com/v/vspfi ... 36DFEV.pdf and look. The jets 5 and 5a are air bleed jets and only control the way the venturi flow. The main and secondary fuel jets are 80 and 80a. Part 97 is a booster venturi and can be removed and modified or replaced larger (less air flow) or smaller (bigger airflow).

I played with the Holley/Weber 5200's for years on a built Dodge Shelby Charger 2.2 non-turbo. I over bored the 26 mm primary to 30 mm and the 27 mm secondary to 32 mm. They flowed just at 310 CFM when finished, over 273 CFM stock. That said it was still way too small for a 220 HP 2.2 so I went to a Holley 350 CFM 2 bbl and then to a Nascar GN V6 spec 390 CFM 4 bbl.

To make one of these Weber's respond you need to play with the 80 and 80a jet sizes. Messing too much with 5 and 5a air bleed jets cam mess up a good carb fast. You can apply a small coating of epoxy to the outsides of the 97 booster ventury after roughing up the surface to make the epoxy stick.
 
Also I think 32/36 DFV is 32 mm primary throttle blade and 36 secondary, D i= down, F = flow, and V = venturi.

Most all progressives are asymmetrical venturi, 22/23 24/25 26/27 and non-progressiv0es are symmetric 22/22 32/32 45/45....... Most progressives have a choke butterfly only on the primary side as one is not needed on the secondary. Some Chevy Vegas got a Holley/Weber 5200 with 22/27 venturi's for low down throttle crispness and the 27 mm for top end.
 
That PDF I posted and the PDF Dan posted the link to show two different types of main fuel jet set up. Sorry.

Some Webers have the main fuel jets down in the fuel bowl under the floats while others have them on the bottom of the air bleed tubes. Use what PDF that covers your type of Weber.
 
dave were just trying to seek out the weber and its holley counter part here as it is applies to oldwings ... what there system is means nothing to this thread ... there numbers in these carbs as it applies to oldwing is just useless ... we got the carb ... butterfly opening mean nothing to air flow, absolutely nothing ... and is the critical factor in oldwing useage.
 
Dan/Joe/others

That Power Valve is a vent back to the float bowl.
It Is On MY Carb

I just double checked to make sure

It is on my 32DFT that is running.

It is Not on my 32/34DFT that I have Not tried yet

My 32/34DFT has Two of the screened vents like on Joes carb

My 32DFT does NOT have those Screens

Those screens are the vent back if you dont have that vent like on you carb Dan.

Again that Vent hanging down under fuel inlet

On your carb Dan Must be there.

If nothing else as a plug, My wires have been cut By TOM so it appears it is not functional.

Dan,

That power valve,

is it screwed into the elec. choke body and seperate from the main carb body,
meaning that once the elec choke is removed it come off with it?
No.
It's completely separate from the e choke assembly and on the opposite side of the e choke.
It's on the same carb body side as the fuel inlet.
Pic to follow...

On page 5 of the Ford 740 manual I sent you the link to

Look at page #5

It gives description of that part

My wires to that fuel vent are cut off, it is a smog device, so i am not sure if the plunger has been removed or not.

My wires have been cut By TOM so it appears it is not functional, other than a Plug

That part is a fuel Bowl Vent Solenoid, operates with Ignition switch directs fuel bowl vapors in to carbon canister when off, into air horn when On

I have a new 32DFT carb on its way.

I will pull that part when it arrives and let you know.
 
The power Enrichment valve,

Is behind that round solenoid that hangs under the fuel inlet area,

The power Enrichment valve is held to the carb. body by a triangular plate and three screws behind that Vent solenoid

This Information is all in that 740 Ford Carb manual that I put the link here a few post back

Dan,

Looks like you may have a cross between Manual & auto trans version of this carb.

That may run great to.

I am trying to remember,

My weber experience and dealing with jets goes back 25+ years ago.

Maybe someone else can help.

The higher the Jet number Numerically, the smaller the jet hole size is?

Is that correct.

Fyi, these are the jets I have in mine.
Looks like a mix between auto and manual trans setups?

You are Not off by much!

I may run Just as good,

You may be jetted for better mileage already.

Best way is run it like it is.

Put a load On it to see what it does.

If no hesitation of coughing

Come back, for a plug inspection.

You may be close enough.
 
Come on up to the top of the pool,

Plenty of air up here.

Help! Help! I'm drowning!!
 
Dan,

In looking at your carb jets

Idle circuit jets are same and should Idle really well

High speed bleed are different,

Emulsion tube/Well Tubes same as mine

Main jet Primary is a higher number , sec, is the same as mine

Not to far off.
