Not necessarily, just need to properly tune the jettings (idle jet, pump jet, main jet & air corrector also the venturi size) to suite your engine. For now I can get around 300km per Rm50 ron95 (recent petrol price) without sacrificing the power.Woh! twin side draft Weber 45. Won't the fuel feed be too high for a 1.5L engine?
Fuh! that is pretty good. I had a Down draft on my previous 3rd Gen Accord. The best we had was also a side draft 45 on the 2nd Gen Prelude. Started out with the 40, then 45 with high cam. That was a 1.8L power plant but after total mod can out accelerate the then old model BMW 323i....Not necessarily, just need to properly tune the jettings (idle jet, pump jet, main jet & air corrector also the venturi size) to suite your engine.

It takes me very long time to get the tune I need, but it worth it :)

Pm to you dy....Hi guys its been more than 2 since i log in into ZTH. Nice to see the forums are still ongoing.
Im using Toyota Corolla AE92 sedan. I bought a brand new Aisin or Aisan (couldnt remember) brand carburetor to replace my old carburetor in 2012.
Previously i can go up to 120 km for RM 20 / RM 22 petrol (without air cond).
Recently im having problem with my carburetor, i can only go up to 90 km for RM 20 / RM 22 petrol (without air cond).
Do i need to re-tune the carburetor for some fuel savings? If yes, can you all suggest any experts in this with a reliable service records. By the way, i am from Serdang, Selangor. Preferred the mechanic within Klang Valley.
Hi unker fred,search u-tiup bruh
The baseball bat part was actually the cold rod compensator of the carburator. When engine was cold. The cold rod was retract and causing the throttle plate was partially open for cold start...I want to ask, last time someone removed one item from the choke section of my old Proton Saga car. It is like in the picture, the one on the left that look likes a baseball bat. Now my car when cold start, before start need to pump the accelerator pedal many times then crank only it can start but need long time to become stable. Need to keep leg on the accelerator for abt 5 mins otherwise engine die. What is the function of that stick and should I ask someone to put it back?
Thanks, wow looks like no one visit this thread now.The baseball bat part was actually the cold rod compensator of the carburator. When engine was cold. The cold rod was retract and causing the throttle plate was partially open for cold start...
When you cold start your engine.The engine idling rpm will increase due to partially opened throttle plate...When engine reached the normal temperature . The cold rod will push out the throttle plate mechanism and partially close the throttle plate causing to reduce idling rpm.
Initially, the rod was fully retract when engine was cold. The throttle plate was partially open to increase rpm during cold start,Thanks, wow looks like no one visit this thread now.
So is this baseball bat thing, should I ask someone to put it back?
My Saga is the one with manual choke. Do you mean that this cold rod retract by itself (auto?) during cold start or when I pull the choke?
When you mention retract, do you mean during cold start the baseball bat move out or move in deeper to the carb housing?
Without this cold rod right now, is my throttle plate in normal position when I am driving (warmed up)?
