Default Where to get WEBER carby's tuned in VIC?

Hey guys,

I have a set of twin 45 weber carbys on my mark 2, and I am having a really tough time trying to find someone in vic to tune them! Every carby person I speak to doesn't want to touch them.

They are in desperate need of a tune up, so any advice would be fantastic.

Cheers,

Bec

Is it tuning or setting up? If its just tuning, a digital tacho, digtial vacuum meter and little Internet research and do it your self, if its setting up, then you will need to find a performance shop with dyno and an old fart(like me) working there.

It's just a tune at this stage, but I have a feeling that something might be wrong with them so I may need some expertise. I will do some research tonight and see what I come up with

if you still want to have them tuned / dynoed then there are a few places around
try MAMMI Motors

they are way down south but well worth the drive......they run cars with twins themselves

Hey mate, where abouts in Melb are you? There's a few guys around that will do them, and they don't have to be done on a dyno if the person knows what they are doing they can get them pretty close, although it is recommended to get them spot on.

If they don't need to be set up on a dyno, how do you adjust wot AF ratio?
I rest my case, guess doesn't work!

You use a portable AF ratio meter in the exhaust. Not ideal but will make sure to keep it safe. And as i said before, it's good if the person knows what they are doing.

You could try Ian Tate (Ex Harry Fifth/Peter Brock) Tate engines etc.
He has been doing 45 mm twin Webbers for lots of the Historic racing cars i.e GT and Lotus Cortinas and many others and has a dyno and has jets etc.
He moved to 31a Metropolitan Ave Blackburn from Hawthorn several years ago.Ph. (03) 9877-2317

Try Warren Heath Performance, he tunes Webers regularly and is well known for his small ford builds and tuning. He also stocks a full range of jets and other parts as well. Best to phone Warren directly on 0409 934 058
