OK idles good until you turn on the AC and it dies. Also sometimes when you come to a stop it will idle down and shut off as well.

2.0 Weber carb, and header

point me in a direction please. Thanks

The Weber does NOT have the idle-up solenoid that is on the stock carb that is used for the a/c. Really what alot of people have done is simply turn the idle screw in a little bit each summer to compensate for the rpms the a/c draws. I am sure someone has tried to add the idle solenoid to their Weber but I have not seen proof of that mod yet.

yea mine wants to die if im idling and I turn the wheel all the way real fast, due to not having that solenoid. no biggie, for things like that just up the idle sum.
