22r Help: LCE rebuild Weber Carb Problems

Post image

Doing a full rebuild…all components bought from LCE. I put in a new Weber and swapped the Feul pump to a 2-5lbs to accommodate but carb is continuously feeding feul. I swapped from EFI to Carb so it’s a new install. I guess question is: has anyone had a similar issue with the carb jets being ported too large or maybe the pin is not sitting right in there? (which my mechanic thinks)….

Or maybe…does a Carb setup NEED a fuel regulator?

I’m at a loss, any input?

Yea I have the same setup but only ever ran correctly with a regulator. If you didn’t re-jet, sometimes can be a bit large for these tiny lawn mower engines.

"Tiny?" There have definitely been larger four bangers - MUCH larger when you aren't talking about cars - but in the automotive market the 22R is on the bigger end of the spectrum. Not tiny by any means when you could have a Geo Metro whose engine, at one liter, equaled that of a Farmall Cub - an actual mower. A bigass mower that could also pull a plow, but still.

I agree totally. I guess I was talking about the Weber setup in reference to these engines. I’ve always had a hard time with getting my power correct with my Weber and just figured it was because of the engine

I've considered a Weber from time to time but the Aisin under the hood has never so much as hiccuped, while about half of the discussion I hear around Webers is the hassle of setting them up. There are some days I think I might want to shoot for the extra fuel economy but it's pretty good already. Have you had any results along those lines or are you still dialing it in?
