I could use the extra power for the road! Any Canadian suggestions?? Strangers have the best candy Re: Stay with Mikuni or go Weber?

If you're primarily using it for Road and concerned about power don't run 33's which are significantly heavier than the stock sized tires. FWIW, rotational weight takes more power to move than fixed vehicle weight. It also takes more braking power to stop than fixed vehicle weight.

It'll also be easier on the steering components with respect to wear. If you mainly drive it on road, and if the off-roading you might do is just light-duty, stock tires will serve you better. They're also cheaper. ?_________ |_|_|\____\___ l-----[O]&#8801;&#8801;&#8801;&#8801;[O] ()_)()_)-----)_) Stay the Trail! Re: Stay with Mikuni or go Weber?

I have 31s now and they aren't too bad but I could use a little more meat. Re: Stay with Mikuni or go Weber?

I am also looking at putting a webber on my '87 monty. When I bought the truck the previous owner had stripped the emission controls off it and put on another mikuni carb. Now I can't get it to pass this stupid Air Care test. I have tried to adjust the air/fuel but after about a week of driving it seems to run rich again. Any suggestions?? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
