Hey hey wahooooooooooooo....yeah . well it isn't as
good as fuel injection (but who can afford it?????)
I am glad to here it good luck and I hope you have a few hours
to spend putting it in.....just a pointer and you probably
allready know but get some hose clamps and some new hoses

It's built for it. it can hold up to a 40 degree incline front to back and 30 degrees side to side. might wanna check it out. im savin up for one right now.[addsig]

I went down to 4wheel parts today and they were very helpful and told me the stock numbers and everything about the weber.I didnt buy the weber but,I did go to my local offroad shop afterwords and they told me that the weber is ELEGAL in the state of california.I am so angry at 4wheel parts,they tryed to sucker me into buying an elegal carb.Well,anyway,I went over to the local carb guy and he said that my best bet would be to convert to fuel injection.But,he said it will be really expensive.My other option was to bring in the jeep and see if he could salvage the carb,or,rebuild me another carb.Some time next week I'm going to take the jeep over to his shop and see what he can do.He said he would rebuild a carb for me and install it for about $300 bucks.He's also going to tune it.I hope this solves some of my problems.

A friend of mine has the Weber on his 4.2L YJ, he's not very happy with it, says it loads up pretty good at angles. He's looking for something better, without going to FI. I recommended he check the Motorcraft carbs, the CJ guys rave about how well they perform, and handle steep angles better than most carbs. I think the model carb was 2100 or 2150 or something similar. I don't know how they bolt to the YJ compared to the CJ, or if they are CARB certified. May be worth checking some CJ forums for better insight.[addsig]
