its time for a new carby but i havent a bit of trouble locating one
where abouts can i get a weber 32/36? is redline the only place that has got em and how much would a full kit cost

You can buy these weber's brand new from most auto parts suppliers.
If you want to go secondhand, then the 32/36 weber carby came of ford escorts, and four cylinder cortina's.

If you filled out your profile where your from I may be able to help you out more.

I have one on my a12 120y coupe, and I bought it brand new with the manual choke setup on it, so that I can still use my original choke

im from the eastern suburbs, sydney im hoping to get a one with an electric choke just wondering what stores in particurlar sell full kits and also are there any places that sell just the air filter, throttle linkage and adapter plate

hey, ive got a 32/36 dd webber im putting into my coupe....i asked the local supercheap auto if they could get them in.. they said i would need to supply the exact part number for what i wanted and they might be able to help me... im going to ask repco and a place near me called burson's to see if they can get them in stock. ill keep ya posted if i find what auto stores can stock them.

cheers

If any one was after a second hand 32 dd webber in good condition with red line manifold and custom throttle cable linkages to suit A series 1200 let me know I live in S.A Price and postage can be arranged.

I had 2 32/36's the problem is that it's a close to 40 year old carb and even with a rebuild they can be fussy.

Even small things will make it run bad on a small engine, even things you wouldn't notice on a 2 liter.

buy a new one if you get one at all.

what kind of problems? would they get out of tune easily. Would a 32/36 dgav be suitable on an a12 im also getting a set of extractors and if so is the power gain worth it

an A12 is at the very bottom end of workable for the 32/36.
you'll probably have idle problems ( too high or it dies )

what it comes down to is the 32/36 is not the best carb design.

I'm learning to have some respect for carbs like the SU's found on the roadster.

I had problems with the secondary sticking open slightly and that would make the car run all schitzo.

I gave the same carb to some kid after i dug it out of my trash trash and it worked fine on his over 2 liter engine.

Some people love them. Personally I really like the variable piston carbs - especially in LPG apps.

I run a 32/36 but it is on an A12 with ported heads, bigger valves, GX cam and extractors , plus it only gets track use. The idle is ok and the carb works well......I also like the much maligned SU types and had no problems. I only switched out the SU type because I was doing a tarmac rally which required the car to get a smog check to be road legal.
Now on a Plymouth Arrow (Mitsubishi) I had a 32/36 and it never really idled great, ran fine but idle was eratic. In the states used 32/36's in good order can be had for $50.

in that case then, what would be a recomended carb for a stock a12 with extractors, since the 32/36 works better for 2L
