Thanks. | | |

I have the kit # at home if you need it. You only need to fab a bracket. I used a bracket from my old rochester to hold the choke cable. Works fine. I don't know if the carter weber has the same choke mechanism but it is worth going to Schucks or autozone. | | |

However, I knocked one of the power feed wires off the back carb and the engine ran "rougher than 3 nights in a Georgia jail". Plugged it back in and she's good to go! Hate to hear you're having a problem as I have encouraged several to go that way.

Yeah, they look great and sometimes even work OK but I would NOT do the twin carb setup again for a farm in Virginia. I may even get rid of them completely and go with the 4bbl unit. I don't need all these hassles. | | |
