Anyone got any idea how much it would cost to overhaul the standard sierra carb (aisin)??

OR

How much for a 32/36mm Weber?

reco ya carby, ya wont believe how great it is, they are designed for offroad, whereas the weber isn't....but make sure ya fuel pump aint shagged, as the bits will block up ya new carb...and make sure ya tank is clean, drain a bit if possible, and run two fuel filters..I use an in line efi filter, and an extra normal inline filter after the fuel pump, to make sure.... otherwise the carb will sh*t up again (the idle jets too small, blocks easily) I bought a minor rebuild kit for $40 (2 days to work out where it all went, tho), but a major kit probly be better, christover

Mine cost me $150 to be rebuilt.

My lil bro's cost $250 from the same place, it needed a few more bits replaced.

Just put a minor kit thru mine $40 adjusted the float level and now run a triple filter system 2 before the fuel pump and 1 after sick and tired of the crap that gets in it. Took it for a run on the weekend put it on angles that use to stall it went great, now to wait and see how my 3 filters go.

I find it helps to drain the fuel bowl occassionaly, mine is easy access, tho, because I changed the auto idle up stuff for a hand throttle. the access bolts for the jets, on rad end of carby, are good way to drain the float bowl. christover

I would see a Doc if this hand stutter continues. Could be Parkison's.

PS I fitted a rebuilt SU 44mm and love it. Sometimes wish it had an accelerator pump, but it runs just so good on ant terrain, at any angle.
Sod the webers.
But if you feel the need to go weber, contact Sarge on the ORC he's the weber guru. Says his weber runs almost upside down. Sorry, forgot who asked the Q. in the first place, I say I forgot who asked the Q in the first place, I say I forgot who asked the Q in the first place...........
