    I put a "new to me" Weber carb on the 258 and seem to have it adjusted...kind-of. I bought this carb used so it didn't come with a manual or any of that. I have adjusted a couple of screws in & out till it ran desent. Now my idle is pretty rough. Does anyone have a pic or something to tell me which adjustment screw does what? Should I have to do any timing adjustments? I went from a 1 barrel Carter to the 2 barrel Weber.:?

    Do you have a model number for the weber? I'm not familiar with the ones for a jeep, but know a fair amount about the ones for like nissans. I could probably help if I knew which model your working with. There is a ton of information on the internet and a google search brings up a lot. I know that they can be tempremental, but when they are dialed in right are well worth the trouble. This web site helped me with my nissan's weber. The guy whos e-mail is on the top know tons about webers and can help if you have any specific questions or need hard to find parts. http://groups.msn.com/NissanDatsun720PickupOwners/test.msnw

    yea. Installed the regulator & guage. Currently running about 3.5 lbs. of pressure. Actually seems to be getting better. Just a lil more adjusting & I think I'll be in good shape. Thanks fellas for the help.:beer::beer::beer:
