You just saved me a trip to the mechanic, I spent about a week poking around the carb trying to figure out why my 82 Toyota pickup wouldn’t idle before I found your video, fixed it immediately. Thanks for the help!
Thank you so much. I’ve been scratching my head for weeks about why it won’t idle, I fired the parts cannon at the ignition system and that didn’t fix it but this did. So basic but yet so much drama
I have a DGA on my MG Midget which has run great since my freind at British Motor Care sent it to me. This spring on the first trip out it fired up and ran great until the engine warmed up. Then it would die at a stop. I asked him about a possible bad gasket or diaphragm and he said that your problem was probably my problem. Trash in the idle circuit. Thanks for the tutorial on pulling the jet! (And cracking it open to check it!) I'll check it tomorrow afternoon and hopefully be right as rain.
I've also had periodic issues with such clog in primary idle jet, like once a year, and had to clean the jet out. I lay down a small towel before removing this, in case I drop it. On my 1988 B2200, I added a second fuel filter (an all-metal filter) between the stock fuel filter and my Weber 32/36 DGEV and that's really helped eliminate most primary and secondary idle jet contamination/debris.
Vey helpful video, I tried it & it worked very well. My only suggestion to Mitch is to mention that if you have a synchronized weber carb they have 2 idle air jets the one on the pass driver side is recessed. DGES carb like mine hs 2 idle circuits, IE 2 idle mixture screwes, excellent video, thanks Mitch
My samurai was stuck in the woods. Thought I adjusted my carb funny before I took it out after a rebuild. Mf is back to running after I watched ur video
I'm in the process of correcting my fuel/air delivery power problems. I've just installed a Holley sniper 2300 TBI unit on my B. Next phase is forced induction.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. the primary on my carb will not close completely and the throttle lever does not contact the idle screw. Any idea whats going on?
Cool I’ll check that out mine is new and was running fine one day. The next day I couldn’t get it to idle and I cracked loose the primary jet and it started to idle normal. So I’ll remove it and see if there is anything in there. Thanks for the video. I’ll update if this helped
Mitch did you say in one of your videos that you might be able to get discounts on Weber carbs from redline? I'm looking into buying a kit for my 89' b2200
Hey Saks so this is just a right idle situation? I took it apart almost completely to change the float level which is SO confusing btw and sprayed it with cleaner, blew everything out, reinstalled it and it starts and idles fine but after I take off and I’m in gear at a light or a stop sign it slowly starts to gurgle and chuga chuga then dies almost like it’s the float level flooding it out…
My first time watching. Good content, short and sweet and to the point and Yes I did learn something. However, the problem on my Weber is over idling ... New Weber just installed & after about a thousand miles started to overidle. Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thank you.
It's hard to say. You're linkage may be too tight, it could be a different fuel, weather variations. Sometimes you'll have to keep a screwdriver handy and just get it dialed in over time. Also spray lube all the linkages.
So I was having issues with idle and still am but one thing I found is that when I pulled the inlet screen, it was pretty dirty. Cleaned everything up as best I can and the idle is still not great and the one thing I notice is after revving, it slowly comes back to idle.
@@MazdaMitch Yeah and I can push on it with no effect. I did pull the inlet screen and found it pretty dirty and now I'm thinking some of that got in and clogged up some things. The carb is only 2 years old but I think the tank and all the lines need to be cleaned, I might have to pull the top off the carb and clean it out best I can without removing it. I had issues getting the adapter to seal and don't want to mess that up again. I also did a valve adjustment using the manual and if it's not the carb, I may have an exhaust valve to tight. Hope not!
I bought one of these for a Suzuki Samurai for a Chinese Buggy i have its a direct bolt on. Its a 3cyl Huaihai 800cc. It fires right up but revs at 2500 rpm all adjustments were done per instructions. Pulled off checked linkage. All is good. Any ideas? Down size jets?
Your videos on this carb have been super helpful, thanks for posting them! I have this same carb on my '81 Honda Civic and up until a week ago it was running fine. Then it started dying when we would slow down to about 15-10 mph. I say this b/c I don't have a tachometer. I adjusted both the idle and mixture screws as I have done before and the car just died and wouldn't turn over. I saw there was a huge gap in the gaskets so I replaced those and now the car turns over, but won't stay running unless you keep your foot on the throttle. So I'm stuck wondering what else could be wrong and what else I can do. Any suggestions will be much appreciated!
Hey what do you think about a weber carb that can idle with the speed screw backed all the way out? I dont have a tach but i believe that it ends up being the correct speed for a 22r, linkage on truck is not holding carb open has good amount of slack
@@MazdaMitch I was thinking the same I tried using some starting fluid at the base and got it to stumble its really close to that open air filter though so I'm not sure yet, timing is set to service manual spec 8 deg btdc at idle, Thanks for the response
The intake manifold had it welded up and slicked up. The Weber carburetor got it off eBay from redline and that was 12 years ago before there was a lot of counterfeits online it's genuine thank goodness.

This was a life saver on my 93 Isuzu Amigo!
Thank you for the video. I've been fighting this problem for a while. Simple video. Simple fix!!!
Thanks for watching

Mitch always comes through with the solutions that i'm too dumb to think of - I'm gonna check my idle jet later! thanks Mitch
hey, thats a great suggestion - investigating why my weber 28/36 is idling too low at the moment !
thanks so much - followed your info & in minutes idle is restored. thanks again - God bless ya.

I literally just found this out this past weekend before watching this video!
My samurai was stuck in the woods. Thought I adjusted my carb funny before I took it out after a rebuild. Mf is back to running after I watched ur video
Glad you got it running!
I'm in the process of correcting my fuel/air delivery power problems. I've just installed a Holley sniper 2300 TBI unit on my B. Next phase is forced induction.
Guitar strings work good for poking out the trash. I have this carb on my 76 Triumph Spitfire.
Thank you for the video, fixed my issue right quick!
You’re a life saver! Thanks for the comprehensive videos!
Going to check this now! Mine is having this exact issue.
The best .staight to the point thanks 👍👍👍
Thank you,
It could be this on my 1974 Landy, as it's just as you describe.
Going to find this part on 34 ICH webber and clean it 🙂
Need to take my mazda to you lol so you can make my truck better man
great tip thank you, I'll look into it !
Mitch, how can i search for that screw in filter that you put in the weber bowl vent? thank u in advance for all the content for us mazda owners

Great tip brother, I’ll make sure to remember this 👍👍

The throttle linkage may be too short, or is binding.
Thanks for the video
No problem!

Just checked mine and it was blocked! Thank you 🙏🏾
No problem!!
well done .. thank you

Redline Weber didn't want to play ball
ah godd video helped me out so much
Thank bro helm me a lot

Do you have a throttle return spring installed so that it'll pull that idle down?

You just need to check all your linkages and stuff and it's kind of sounds like the fast idle is screwed all the way in.

Check for vacuum leaks using carb cleaner around the carb. Check all hoses for cracks.
Hey what do you think about a weber carb that can idle with the speed screw backed all the way out? I dont have a tach but i believe that it ends up being the correct speed for a 22r, linkage on truck is not holding carb open has good amount of slack
Timing could be advanced enough that the idle is higher than normal, also could have a small vac leak
@@MazdaMitch I was thinking the same I tried using some starting fluid at the base and got it to stumble its really close to that open air filter though so I'm not sure yet, timing is set to service manual spec 8 deg btdc at idle, Thanks for the response
Any idea what might cause slight stumble on acceleration? 38/38 dges cleaned at least twice. Accelerator pump seems to operate correctly? Thanks, Bob
Float might need to be adjusted. mazdaminitruckin.com/files/weber/Complete%20Weber%20Guide-Update-2020.pdf
Mine idles good granted it still makes little popping from exhaust since I have leaks. But my issue is when floored it Boggs out
I had that happen once, I increased my timing and adjusted my float and now it's gone.
@@MazdaMitch imma check my float today when I pull the carb to clean it out
Hi thanks for your help I thought my engine dead gary
I hope this my issue. Mine has a dead spot and number 2 spark plug is blackened.
What site did you use to get your Weber and manifold?
The intake manifold had it welded up and slicked up. The Weber carburetor got it off eBay from redline and that was 12 years ago before there was a lot of counterfeits online it's genuine thank goodness.
@@MazdaMitch
Thanks I’m having a hard time finding a legitimate site
I put some links on my website on the faq or parts page to help with that. mazdaminitruckin.com
Thanks. I opened it up. I’m not a pro with the internet yet. I found it and I appreciate your patience with me.
Put a idle cut off solenoid on it,have one on mine..
That will not solve anything in relation to this video. Trash is in the primary idle jet. How would a cut off solenoid have helped? It won't.
I just installed a new weber but all the engine does is spin
Things you should check, are fuel, and spark.
I've just rebuilt mine and can't car started at all
Did you have parts left over?
“Carburetor stone”
fit an inline filter buddy
It's already got a fuel filter inline buddy, not to mention the carb itself has a filter screen right where the fuel goes in. 🤷♂️
