I'm new to Weber carbs. I have in my possession a pair of Weber 44 carbs, but I need 40s. Here and there I've read that these carbs have the same body but can be switched from one size to another by swapping parts.
If true, which parts? Gotchas? Anyone care to specifically conceptualize this for me? Thanks, Marcus |

Here's a link to a chart of what comes from the factory for Webers: http://www.cbperformance.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=152 44's come with 36mm venturis, 40's come with 28mm venturis. The smallest I've seen that you can get down to is 32mm for 44's. http://www.cbperformance.com/SearchResults...w=90&page=1 |

I did this for my 1.8. Went with a 28 vent and a fairly large idle jet. Ran pretty well. The cool that was that I just upped to a 2056. Changed a few that is and they work on the 2056.
I went through a lot of trial and error to get mine right. It could be worthwhile to have them professionally set up. |

I am going through this now.
I bought brand new 44IDF's from Pierce Manifold for a 2056+ build I am commissioning. In the mean time, I am going to run them on a 1.7. They came with 36mm Venturi's 60 idles and 135 mains Pierce recommends for the 1.7 30mm Venturri's #71507.300 55 idles (74405.055) and 125 mains (73401.125). We shall see how they run! John |

Hey John, is Pierce cool or what? Totally under the radar unless you want Webers on your V8, but I love those guys.

I had 44s in a 2.0 and it was a bit temperamental on the throttle. Set it up with 40s and it ran like a champ. Great move.
