Weber 32/36 progressive carb - Vacuum pipe question

[andy11]

Anyone running one of these carbs with vacuum pipe to the servo ? I need to know where to connect the pipe to the inlet manifold ? prob have to drill the manifold and put a screwed fitting in, think the pipe is 12 mm ?

Thanks for any info

Lhd inlet manifold has a flange to drill & tap an outlet for your servo

This is the same carb i run and my servo take off point is as above, left hand manifold drilled and tapped to suit an appropriate brass pipe fitting.
Angle it slighty upwards to reduce the risk of any fuel being sucked onto the pipe work!

Beautiful, thanks guys

Not he best picture but you can just make out the servo pipe in the bottom left

Engine slightly different now due to the fact i have an alternator fitted instead of the dynamo

Nice one thanks, these carbs seem to get a lot of slagging off but I am gonna see for myself.

If set up correctly there are better than stock but will never compare to twins, but at over half the price of twins it was a happy compromise on my behalf.
I'm pleased with it, i will eventually upgrade to twins but for now i'm more than happy with mine
