manxmanta Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Hi Sid Let me know how you get on as I'm getting a 1.8s. The original carb is not that good and I will probably be looking to change it. Cheers Manxmanta
Sid Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Hi will let you know i found plenty of kits for the 1.6/1.9 cih engines I recently fitted a Weber kit to my Manta A .The car would never start on the original Solex unless i sprayed brake cleaner down it ,now a slight bit of choke and she fires up very pleased
Jim@Sharon Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The Weber carb you want for 1.8s should be a 32/34 DMTL. That is the one that is fitted to our 1.8s 1984 GT I managed to pick one up brand new in the box from Beaulieu at their Autojumble a year or so ago, for £60 still on the market and still listed on the web com site.
Sid Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Just ordered from webcon not bad price Will report back once car is running
manxmanta Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Hi Sid Let me know how the car runs with the new one is fitted.

Snowy Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 The 32/36 is the better choice. But you're right they don't sell it as a kit. But they do sell the carb to manifold adapter plate and you can remove the throttle bracket off the manta carb to fit to the weber.
gt/e paul Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 32/36 dgav or something like that I used back in the day
Kevin Abbott Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I'm doing this conversion now but struggling with the throttle link. does anyone have any pics?

Which part are you having trouble with? I took the varijet linkage off, opened up the square hole a fraction and swapped this onto the Weber. This enabled the use of the standard 1800 throttle cable etc.
