Weber kit

[Dennis]

For those of you that have a Weber kit, was there any specifications included with the electric fuel pump included in the kit? I bought my Weber kit used at a garage sale earlier this year so I have no idea how old it is. I'm not sure if the 90 degree heat had something to do with it a couple days ago, but I'm sure my electric pump failed. At first I thought probably a screen or the inline filter might have been plugged until I took my fuel line off to check flow through all screens and inline filter ahead of the pump. I have plenty of flow so for now I just bypassed the pump. I was looking online and noticed some of these pumps are specifically for in tank or external of tank. So I'm wondering if my pump is supposed to be for an in tank application.

Dennis just isolate the electrical connections on the pump get a catch can and a 12v battery doesn't take much and see if it pumps even dry you should hear it run, did you get the manifold and all of the linkage? If you look at my thread heater install you can see my weber install as well. I mounted my pump inside the frame rail with the bolt that holds the hood bumper. If you need something or to talk pm me and I can help you if you wish.

Did that and can hear the pump has more sound at first when cold, barely noticable sound after running awhile. And of course no fuel pumped out. It was getting worse over time and finally gave up towards the end. My pump was mounted the same as yours Chief, except on a 28-29 there is a 1/4" bolt that goes through the fender and splash apron and then the frame that I used. The 28-29 has a hood shelf that holds the hood bumper.

I am getting ready to shop for a pump. What model comes with the Weber kit?

In tank pumps usually have a pick up sock attached to them..External pumps have an inlet and outlet connection / inline

Do not buy an Airtex pure junk.

Carter, Delphi, Holley are better


Below is some info i had saved,, figured to post it up...
carter P4259 is a vane style pump 6v pos or neg hook up.

a P60504 is a rotor style 12v

then there are the solenoid style pumps which seem to be the least reliable IMO

Here’s my Weber setup. Run 1.5 PSI for best results. Line from tank goes through a filter then a pump and into a Holley regulator with a gauge. I’ve run countless combinations including EFI. Weber is far and away the best....running this combo on two A’s. Redline has the adapter to use the round air cleaner

In the late 70's I owned a Renault R12-GTL and it had an AC bellows style electric pump. I went through at least 6 of those pumps before I finally got rid of that car.
Now I have 2 Holley 12 volt and one Carter 6 volt rotary vane style pumps.
No parts inside these pumps that can be damaged by the crap gas.
The Holley pumps put out 1 to 2 PSI if I run them on 6 volts with a 1 ohm 50 watt resistor in line.

My Weber kit didn’t come with a pump. I used one of the Carter kits I got from Snyder’s. Still using the same pump with my 97.

Carl, u running a Stromberg 97? I just bought one of the new ones built in England. It is a thing of beauty. This is want I need a pump for.

[CarlG]

Yes, I am running one of the new ones made in England. It was re-jetted by my engine builder.

[BNCHIEF]

Carl why is the stromberg 97 better than a weber and yes I know they are good carbs just curious.

[CarlG]

I can't really say I notice much difference in the Stromberg 97 and the Weber. My engine builder just told me that it was more difficult to calibrate the Weber to the engines he builds. Since he was doing the calibrating, and it was going to cost me more for him to calibrate the Weber, I just went along with his recommendation and bought a 97. I have been happy with it.

[BNCHIEF]

Thanks Carl , they are both good carbs i never had much trouble. initial idle air mix is touchy.

I'm pretty sure it's the Carter pump 12 volt Mitch has in the link at Amazon, that has failed. My Weber kit was complete with pump, filter, fuel lines, throttle linkage and choke cable. The previous owner had cut 1" out of the throttle linkage and obviously wasn't getting full travel.

The fuel pump I have looks like the one pictured above. I haven't had any problems with it. Going on 5 years now.
