What exactly is the state of getting it to run? I know you've spent a lot of time trying to track down the issue. I'm out of state (Wisconsin), and just trying to figure out the feasibility of it. It'd be a lot more fun to drive it home, even if it took a while, than to ship it. If I got it running, could I take it on a road trip? I know that's sort of an unanswerable question, but I really like that car, and I want to find a way to make it work.

IIRC it needs a battery and my guess is that something's up with the throttle.

There's a Weber carb conversion kit, I lost the link but it should still exist.

I'd be tempted to buy it if I had anywhere to store it, as a collector's item and to help the cause if nothing else. Godspeed

There are too many pages & threads to find where we talked about it before :P Weber carb was the solution to a lot of Honda carb issues right up until they fully transitioned to EFI - which didn't happen across the board until the early 90s (you could get a 1991 Prelude with dual carbs, or opt for the Si, which got you port fuel injection and a significant power bump - the Accord could also be had with a carb until the end of the 1989 model year). If my 88 Accord had any further carb issues, it was getting a Weber kit and the  vacuum control box delete (that's an 88-89 Accord diagram). Emissions on 80s Hondas was needlessly complicated, so were their carbs. I'd imagine a 70s would be a bit simpler on the emissions side, but Honda did love their complicated carbs.

I had that weber 32/36 on my bus, making similar hp  I simultaneously hate it and love it. Love because it finally let me drive the bus after a huge period of worn poo poo problems. Hate because the design makes it literally impossible to fine tune. It'll run, but never perfectly. Adjustments are made with thr jet equivalent of a hammer, because displacement and RPM are rigidly tied to flow, and it transitions between throttle plate primary->secondary with an unadjustable cam.

I've avoided saying this for a long time due to 14 simply needing to realise it on his own. The Civic has seldom been there for him in his time of need, and ended up being a bastion of something he could never stop fixing and never give up, even though it wasn't necessarily spectacular in any way. Sound like something else yet? It was his unwillingness to give up on the past and move on, an analogue of his ex and his problem. Now that he's done the deed and given the old dog up, he's got nothing to keep him down. The only way to go is up... ... in flames in an '84 Biturbo with a screaming blow-through carb.

Best of luck dude. I just sold both my mazdas and spare and stuff today. Hopefully my sale will go through (there's missing compliance plates that may gently caress it up*), I found a good buyer that can do more for them than I can at the moment and it felt good they're going someplace that they'll be looked after. Still hurts that the next time I see them they'll be worth so much I could never afford to buy them back. *If anyone lives near santa monica cal, get this guy to make me new plates pretty please https://www.facebook.com/VintageRotaryDecals E: The problem I have is there's a rx3 chassis number on my 808, as the only part not rusted in my rx3 was the firewall, and the only part rusted in my 808 was the firewall so the rx3 firewall and chassis numbers are on my 808. That guy usually doesn't make plates for a 808 to rx3 conversion, so I'm kind of hosed unless I can find my originals, or beg him to make an exception. Fair enough he doesn't want to be involved in stolen/rebirthed cars or deception, but I'm kind of trapped by something I did over 10 years ago. It's ot like you can't tell at least 3 other ways between them (floor pan, tail beaver panel, boot floor, g/b tunnel) anyway Fo3 fucked around with this message at 16:59 on May 4, 2017 |

Metal Geir Skogul posted:I had that weber 32/36 on my bus, making similar hp Suprised you have problems with a weber 32/36. I'm going to guess the shafts are worn or something. 32/36 was common to fit to most older euro cars like escorts I think (was it even oem on some models?). Let me tell you about a PITA weber that's relevant to you. On my old mazdas I once played around with dual IDFs. Back in the 90s dual dcoe weber carbs were popular with datsuns and toyotas. Someone had the bright idea of why not dual carbs for a rotary, why be stuck with a single 48IDa (that many people felt the need to extend fuel bowls by welding on, and bore out to a 51mm size) ? So the dual 40IDF set up was born. I was one of the guinea pigs since they are not around anymore. The 40IDFs were pulled out of a flat four since they are common use in vw land. Never ran right because they are really finicky and constantly needed adjustment. On the plus side, the manifold makes a neat look if I tossed the webers and put on IDF weber-like efi throttle bodies to suit Fo3 fucked around with this message at 18:41 on May 4, 2017 |

I might have a webber 32/36 sitting at home off the B2200 we bought last fall. It was new when installed.

I used two different 32/36's. One used, one brand new. Both were impossible to tune paat a certain point, but I'll admit that both ran no matter what. Just always rich in one spot and lean in another, in a myriad of ways that in no fashion corresponded with the emulsion tubes or jets I was using. The main issue was intake runner length, because on a flat four with a centermount, the intake runners are 17 inches, each side. I got through the winter by installing 2 cm x 150 cm silicone heater pads to each of the four runners. Funny enough, the dual 40 IDFs I have on there now run amazingly well, but that's because I paid a $350-400 premium over stock to have them tuned by a greybearded VW wizard over the course of a month on a bench engine set up like mine, like he had been doing since the '70s. He then immediately retired

people posted:Carb Chat Didn't Dave *eventually* ascertain that the carb on that civic was the same Hitachi unit as the one Nissan used on the A12 in the Datsun 1200/120y/Sunny etc? I had a 120Y and it looks identical to me. Which there should still be a handful of in servicable condition, because Datsun made about as many of those engines as Russia made AK47s... or am I thinking of the wrong civic?

What am I missing with the carb? Surely any carb that's about the right size and jetting should nominally "work", even if not optimal?
