Otherwise one trashcan the carbs after a month.

If anyone needs a trash can I'd be happy to play that role if you are heaving a set of 48's from you 351c. Webber's are actually quite a bit of fun to tune if know the basics but can be quite a handful when you get off track with them.

Make a "Carb changes sheet" and make very detailed notes on what you changed and what happened...take lots of plug readings at different rpm's(this is how I did it)...run the motor in gear for a sustained period (30 seconds)then turn off the motor and push the clutch in at the same moment you turn off the ignition. Coast to a stop...take a plug reading. Keep doing that until the plug is tan. Look at the RPM ranges Goran mentioned and that will be where to read the plugs and make changes. Its been many 15+ years since I tuned Webbers but remember it like yesterday. As Goran eluded they are great carbs but you have to have a ton of patients. If you are a tinkerer get them. Also do yourself a favor, take off the rear deck lid for all the tuning...it will give you the room you need and make it a lot easier for tinkering.

Dang it...why does someone(thanks cabipe) always have to bring up Webbers? I always want a set when I start reading the posts.
