people with webbers have had problems on steep inclines.
But if its used lots on highway and beach (where there's no angles) then I would keep the webber. It will give better on road performance

Webbers dont tend to like hills moreso then most other carbies.
stock carbies are pretty well matched to the motor but lack oomf but will allow you to run a snorkel easier and i think you will get better fuel economy from a stock one.(someone correct me if i'm wrong)
but, I'd personally go the Holley 180 (I have one in the box new waiting to go on  ) more go to them and they can handle hills better then the webber 32/36 I have..

well since youve already got the webber, check out what the price difference in rebuild kits are. Chances are the 1.3 carby could have more wrong with it then the (newer?) Webber and the rebuild kits From what i looked at were easier to get, some stores stock the webber rebuild kits on the shelf..

Its not a webber then?. Holley and Webber are 2 different makers..

The 32/36 webber, and the 180 holley are basically identical.
Shakes is right, 4psi max.
