Webers-need fuel pressure regulator?
I've just put a pair of webers on my buggy and it's running horrible. It has the standard fuel pump so I didn't put in a fuel pressure regulator.
Could this be my issue?
Both my other cars running webers have a regulator but are running electric pumps. It doesn't appear to be running rich. It's a new engine 1641,
runs ok with the revs up but hard to take off. Ideas?

Barls runs a pressure regulator on his 2 litre with twin webers and i know that it ran like s...t with too much pressure, apparently they use a lower
pressure but I can't remember the figure, I am sure that he wll let you know what he is running.

Yes 40mm idf webers. I'm going to put a pressure regulator on it. It doesn't seem to be overfueled but it's running like crap down low.

Ive been using a stock VW mechanical pump with my 48 IDA Weber street beetle for over 40 years with no regulator. If the (unlikely) pressure is too
great, add a few gaskets under the mechanical pump. Depending on the size of the needle and seat (most common is 2.0mm), a fuel pressure of 2.5 lbs is
adequate.
Sounds more like a tuning problem rather than fuel pressure.

44's on a 1641 are on the larger side. Putting in a smaller venturi (choke) will improve low end response.
Every carb works well if you rev it but it is down low and on transition that is the tuning area

Seems it was just linkages not adjusted right. I trusted my son had done it right.
