  1. Hey all! Getting ready to install our Weber 32-36 carburetor kit in our 1982 Sunrader. Before we begin just want to know if I need to buy any other parts that don't come with the kit, like an ERG block off kit or anything else? Thanks!
  2. Well, I might have to change my username. Because after a year of obsessive searching, I finally purchased a 1977 Chinook pop top!! Actually a friend of mine on the west coast purchased it for me in April, and in about 3 weeks I’m going to go pick it up and drive it 2,400 miles back from California to Georgia. My friend has test driven the vehicle, and the word from him and the guy I bought it from is that the Chinook is in great mechanical shape except for idling way too high. (My friend reported he had to ride the brakes a lot, and that after a couple hours of city driving the engine was on the verge of overheating.) (Ironically, there is another ’77 for sale in California right now with a similar problem.) The previous owner blamed the high idle on the carburetor, which had already been converted to a Weber (I'm assuming 32/36, but I'm not sure) before he bought it. My goal is to get this camper on the road and back home ASAP. Therefore, I’ve been planning to buy a new Weber 32/36, bring it with me to California, and swap it with the old carb as soon as I get out there. But before I buy the new carb, I thought I should ask a few questions of folks here. 1.) Could anything else be causing the high idling besides the carb? (The engine was supposedly rebuilt recently... Some Weber distributors recommend adding a fuel pressure regulator... Aside from those possibilities, I don't know what else it could be.) 2.) The easier it is to install the new Weber, the better. So when it comes to deciding between an electric or manual choke, I figured I’d just go with the same set up it has now – I just need to find out what that is. Can I tell which choke it has now from photos my friend can take of the carb? What should I be looking for? 3.) If the Weber that's in the camper now turns out to be a 38/38 will I have any problems switching to a 32/36? Aside from that, any other advice (well, aside from telling me to bring bus fare with me as a fallback plan.. ) is greatly appreciated! I've attached a couple pics of my new ride. I should have more from my friend soon.
  3. I have an 82 5 speed Sunrader with the 22R with 60,000 original miles and it will NOT start when its cold unless I spray starter fluid in the carburetor. Here is what I do to start it when its cold... I spray the stuff in both sides of the carburetor (Aisan carb) and quickly pump the accelerator about 5 times and it starts after about 2 tries with the starter fluid. 3 important things... - I can take my foot off the accelerator within 10 to 15 seconds after starting with no sputtering or stalling. - The vehicle runs great once started with lots of power, zero hesitation, surging, or stalling. - After she's warmed up I can turn OFF the motor and leave for an hour or two and come back and she will start right up without starter fluid. This is what I have done so far and it still requires starter fluid to start it cold... - New spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, PCV. - New battery (cleaned terminals and cables). - New fuel filter and its two hoses. - New fuel pump (mechanical). - Seafoam treatment in carburator, crankcase, gas tank. Some carb guy here wants $500 to rebuild this Aisan carburator and I really don't want to spend the bucks. Do you have any suggestions for what I should do next? Thanks Steve
