I've got a Weber on my 2 liter and it's great. I believe my engine originaly
came with fuel injection but the previous owner changed to the Weber, which is
a very good idea in my opinion. Lot's more reliable. No heat risers though so
it's a little slow to warm up when it's cold (it was a Colorado bus so I'm
surprised he chose
this set up).. No problems after I get past the first stop sign in my
neighborhood, it handles the Texas winter really well...I imagine if it was a
lot colder it'd be a hasle. Gives lots of power too, and decent fuel mileage as
long as you don't slam it to the floor all the time haha.

for it to be.

It always works that way, just like a 4 barrel you have to stay out of the
secondaries. When I had that setup on my bug vert I could get 28-32 miles per
gallon if I drove conservatively. If I was playing then it didn't get as good
of mileage. What you give up in mileage is well worth what you gain in power.
Just my opinion.

i had one on my 77 and absolutely loved it...only problem is i didn't have heat
risers on it so it was really cold natured.
this one has the risers so hopefully that problem will be resolved.
one thing i do remember is if i didn't stay out of the gas i got terrible
mileage...is that going to be a similar problem here?

I am almost afraid to answer this one!
What are you driving? What engine?
I had one on my bus, I have a1700 Type IV engine. It worked fine, but I wanted
to go back to dual carbs like it had origianally. So if you want tor try, I
have one here in Abilene I will sell ya!
