<VV> Rich Webers

[levair at aol.com]

The question is " way too rich for what?";
Since the Webers are installed on detonation prone turbos, every 
precaution---being borderline too rich--- is taken by preparers to 
protect the customer from detonation damage..
    The user can then reduce the idle and main jet sizes to his own 
peril.
    The answer, if you cannot tolerate the richness, is to use a 
progressive adaption and jet the primary side for leaness and good idle 
and cruising economy and jet the secondary side for richness and 
detonation protection.
   Or you can replace all of that extra fuel with water injection.
    If you use a detonation sensor to retard the spark, then you are 
programming in less power.

Mark,

I think the usual way to cure this problem is to modify the carb to be
progressive.  Warren does these mods.  Plug this line into google and it
will bring up all the emails about Weber DCOE carbs. Weber DCOE

We have a 180 Turbo with a Crown adapter and a Weber carb in the shop 
that
while not flooding is WWAAYY to rich.

Since my knowledge is limited on aftermarket carbs. What are the methods
used to reduce fuel mixtures on Weber carbs.

What would be most helpful is knowing how to lean the mixture without a 
box
of jets sitting next to me!

I will be pulling the carb off the turbo today and making some 
preliminary
checks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
