Title: Anyone used a Holley (weber) 5200 Carb on their samurai?
Post by: ShawnQ on December 01, 2005, 09:22:42 PM

My uncle used to race 2.3L Fords, and has a Holley (weber) 5200 carb he said I could do some experimenting with.

Has anyone tried this?
How do they compare to a Weber you would buy from a Samurai parts house?

I did a search for 5200 and only came up with the 'redline' and max RPM.

Thanks
Shawn

 I got one of those when I thought it was better and easier than keeping the injection, the one I have is for a mid 80's chevette (1.6L so the jetting is perfect) with some small modification it's not a bad fit (the 4 main bolts almost line up) + electric choke.

 Rebuild kits are not to hard to find, they may make more power but I was going for reliability and injection doesn't flood or starve on steeper angles

I ran a single barrell Holley on my sami for a bit....ran nice, and wasn't bad off road either.  Came off an Escort I believe.  It was pretty easy to adapt to the intake as well.
