HEED THIS WARNING! find someone to I feel the need to defend the Weber here. I agree that you should do what you can to keep the stock system working. However, I installed a DFEV on my '71 camper last fall and haven't touched it since the initial adjustments. It will give me 22mpg on the highway loaded with camping stuff and tools. It does take some time to warmup. I am onto a way to use the original oil bath air cleaner with warm air assist and imagine it will help greatly in this area. Even as it was it certainly wasn't unuseable over the winter. If you get on it enough for both throats you can add to the icing problems. I went slow and easy and didn't have any major problems. Just my experience. Jim -- James A. Brill Jr. \\ // jbrill@unlinfo.unl.edu \\ \\// // If you're not outraged University of Nebraska \\//\\// you're not paying attention. free-lance homo sapien \/ \/
