'89 B2200 carb question!

B2200 Carbs
I rebuilt the Nikkei carb on my '87 B2200. It was not easy! Could only find a couple places in Denver to rebuild it and they wanted $700. Forget that! The truck is only worth $500. So, I would recommend a new carb. I hear the Weber cab is the way to go on these. I don't know how much $ though. good luck
P.S.
http://www.importcarburetors.com/car...l/ZMAZ-660.htm This place has rebuilt carbs for about $240. I think I would do that and keep the thing stock. I don't want to spend any extra time on this thing. Just want it to run good.
They have the weber conversion kits on ebay for around $265 - $300. These work, but more work to install and dial in the jetting etc. Also, I don't know how well the weber carb kit mods do with regards to emissions.

BUT, as I suggested in another trhead, be prepared to replace jets in a Weber to correct the fuel/air ratio. They have a general tune when purchased new and require final tuning for your application.
If you buy one on Craig's List you would almost certainly need a jet kit, as you wouldn't know what engine they may have been tuned for.
That said, they are good carbs, very flexible, and simple by today's standards. If properly tuned they should pass an emissions test as well as any other....

I've been running a Weber 32/36 DGEV kit (genuine Redline Weber kit W675) since 2006 on my B2200 and it runs fine. Be sure to use Permatex Aviation sealant on the gaskets for the adapters, and to torque the bolts correctly.

True. It is possible to get one out of the box that is correct for the vehicle/engine in question.
I used to work for a place and we installed these exact carbs as replacements on many, many BMW 1600's and 2002's, but we bought them from a vendor that specialized in BMW's and basically knew how they needed to be jetted for a specific application. However sometimes we still had to make minor jet changes depending on the engine itself. Plus at that time, we didn't have all the emissions stds we have today, and these were older cars even then (pre-'77 models,) so they were often exempt from emissions testing. The laws were a lot more lenient in those days.
