Swopping a Zenith 36VN to a Weber 34 - Any views?
Hi all,
Given the rather leaky nature of the Zenith 36VN on my 1966 131 (https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=336115 and https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=312839) I am thinking about replacing it with a Weber 34 (https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...4-kit/1022670/), which seems to be a straight swap for the B18A engine. Only minor modification is required to the rubber seal with the Volvo air filter and the actual filter (https://www.skandix.de/en/documents/...er-34/3000188/). Has anyone any experience of making this swap. I found only one reference on the forum (Willsapples - https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=334485) but was rather hoping other users might have made this swap. One question I have is that the Weber 34 has a 34mm throat size (where it joins the manifold) whereas the VN36VN is 36mm. Presumably this difference of 2mm should not cause any issues. Phil |
