Just wondering i have searched everywhere to try and find out what i need to do to get my webber 32/36 running on my A12. i have had it on there and it will not idle unless you have your hand partly covering the intake.

I have checked the jets out and there sizes are:

Idle - 60/50
Main - 140/140
Air correciton 175/135

What do i need to change to make it idle beacuse from what i have found this set up should atl east idle before minor changes to tune properly.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

How hard is it these days to come accross a pre 1974 A12. also i have read up on installing a newer A12 but with what results do you get from welding flat bar onto the engine mount?? is it as stable or not.

has been using some water but i have a slow leak in the radiator that i have to replace and the water is a grey like colour?

When you pull the dip stick out the oil looks fine but i have been using tap water in the radiator?

it is hard to start it is also playing up as in it will be fine for quiet a while then all of a sudden it will not rev properly you have to hold it flat strap to make it go and when you take of you have to put you foot to the floor to make it take off otherwise it just dies down and you have to hold it flat to make it slowly pic up.

I now have to get a new set of pison rings for my a12 and in the near future i am looking to put a turbo on it but at the moment i have to put new rings and bearings in it and i am wondering what would be the best type of ring to get for now so that they will also be good when it comes to putting the turbo on??? any help would be greatly appriciated. also i am on a pretty tight budget but i know that you get what you pay for so just an idea of price as well would be great.

Thanks Jon

any help on how long the intake runners should be for a stock a12 and what size???

that just seems a bit a bit small to me has any one here made a intake manifold and what are the deminsions that you used and how did it work?

so for an A12 i would need a pleneum 50 percent of my Cylinder displacement which is what???? and what size would my runners have to be and how round? all this maths is just confusing me?
