just seen this on e bay and thought that if it fit would suit sierra's being a side draught carby there wouldn't be the stalling problems of other carby's i don't know much about carbs but thought i wouldt put it out there

That $700 would be better spent on EFI.

everyone says the same thing, go EFI... some people (like me) prefer a carby due to the fact its easier and cheaper to repair (generally speaking)... i'll never go efi for a fourby, but thats just me...

efi is good but i seen this and also seen normal webers for sierras for 600 so for a little bit more you might not have all the off road issues of the down draught webber but that is as long as it fitted and was the right size to suit the 1.3 engine in a sierra and could be tuned to run properly

I was kind of hoping someone else would chime in..
I know sweet FA about carbies of any type
But my guess would be that it would climb hills better but flood on side angles

Hahaha I was talking about the side draught
And if your carby hasn't flooded you haven't wheeled it hard enough yet

Nope should have equal performance at any angle. Fuel bowl is centered under the throats, just like many bike carbs. Significant improvement over downdrafts with there bowl positioned on a side of the carb.

I can't believe it, but yep, its there.
What I find harder to believe is that ebay lets this be advertised.
You cannot see the carby, you get very rude replies to legit questions, its over priced to buggery.
Maybe questions should be directed at Ebay as to why a Weber carby sticker costs so much, and why the dude selling is so rude and offensive.

I saw this ages back, asked to see the carby and work done on the manifold, he was very rude, so in my pissy mood, I put it up here how fukd this guy was.
Auszookers banded together, and asked him a lot of questions, some real, some sounded really real, some were really really real.
He took t off the site, a little later, up it went gain, and again lots of questions asked, again it was withdrawn.
Now its back
