Do Weber carbs work under water.....?

Post by SiKiD_01 »

........ i'm not willing to find out!!!

i'm desperately looking for one of these:

has anyone seen one of these before? or even in aus? i've been to the local LPG joint, and they get most custom made up here, hence big $$$, and also seeing as my weber isn't exactly a popular choise to put snorkels on.

i keep getting water all over the bloody RAMFLO air cleaner! :cry:

i've also been told to get an K&N oiled filter, as they...... sorta??? disperse water more, or something like that. like, water doesn't get through them as much.

thanks for any help.

if you run the weber through a snorkel and the stock airbox you will have to change the jets. you will loose a bit of power but is still better than an Aisin carby

I've seen a factory air cleaner off a Kingswood with it's base attached/sealed to the base of Weber sports air cleaner, result is $8 air filters with plenty of airflow as they were designed for a 3.3litre engine.
