Linkages that are loose, or not well stabilized or use components that can be stretched are a recipe for disaster.

I had to add some further bracing to the support that comes up from the back of the head that connects the throttle arm to the arm that then connects to the linkage going down between the carbs as it would twist a little under hard acceleration and the car would not run right. Since stabilizing that support, no problems.

Hi Jim,

Very good information. This is what I would like to see here, others experience with their Webers to help new owners get their setup sorted out.

Thanks Jim for your input.
