#1 webber carb install.

Post by PAN4213 » Mon Feb 27, 2023 6:24 pm

Hello all,

Currently in process of replacing existing Stromberg carbs with webbers.
however to connect the existing accelerator linkage to the new carbs is an unknown!


do we need to make a bespoke link of some sort or is there an 'adaptor' available off the shelf?
any assistance please..

I had to make some simple bits to get mine to work using a mix of what came with the carbs and the original linkage. The original bar that runs horizontally across the bulkhead connected to the actuator lever that came with the carb linkage, but I needed to make a pivot to support the end of the rod that runs along the manifold.

A lot depends on the linkage you’ve bought with the carbs. Some are more comprehensive than others. Mine was pretty generic. I imagine you’ll have more bits to make to get the kick down cable connected to the throttle link.
