Weber Setup Tuner - Engine Database Edition

Guided setup

Build your Weber setup step by step

Start with the carburetor layout, then define the engine, then use the report screen to edit the setup and parts you actually have on the shelf.

Step 1 of 3 • Choose carburetors

1. Choose carburetors

Choose the carburetor style and count first. Engine details come next.

Choose the carburetor layout you want to tune.

Next you’ll choose a known engine from the database or enter your build manually.

2. Choose an engine or enter it manually

Pick an engine from the database, or enter the build manually.

Good

Current setup is well matched and should respond normally to fine-tuning.

No forced parts are active.

📐 Technical Formulas

Main Jet: Venturi × 4 baseline, then altitude/cam adjustments, then rounded to the nearest 5.

34 × 4 = 136 → street cam +0 → round = 135

Air Corrector: Main Jet + 50, rounded to the nearest 5.

135 + 50 = 185

Emulsion Tube by Cylinder Size:

<325cc: F11 | 325-400cc: F15
400-475cc: F16 | >475cc: F2

Family	Typical Use	Calculator Coverage
DCOE / sidedraft	Individual-runner side-draft setups on naturally aspirated or period-style performance builds.	Supports single, twin, and triple carb layouts, removable chokes, main jets, air correctors, idle jets, emulsion tubes, pump jets, auxiliary venturis, and needle valves.
IDF / downdraft	Downdraft dual-throat performance carburetors on manifolds for upright or downdraft applications.	Supports single and twin carb layouts, removable vents, main jets, air correctors, idle jets, emulsion tubes, pump jets, boosters, and needle valves.
32/36 progressive	Street-oriented single-carb conversions with fixed progressive primary/secondary throttles.	Supports common 32/36 models, fixed venturi pairs, primary/secondary mains, primary/secondary air correctors, idle jet, emulsion tube family, and needle valve suggestions.

Reference Topic	Range / Selection	Advisory
Altitude	Above sea level	Baseline logic reduces the main jet by 2% per 1000 feet. A visible warning is shown above 2000 feet.
Temperature	40°F and below	Colder air is denser, so real-world tuning often ends up slightly richer than the starting recommendation.
Temperature	41°F to 94°F	Moderate temperature range; no extra numerical correction is applied.
Temperature	95°F and above	Hotter air is thinner, so real-world tuning often ends up slightly leaner than the starting recommendation.
DCOE / IDF Body	40 body with venturi above 34mm	Unusual pairing; verify signal strength and throttle response.
DCOE / IDF Body	45 body with venturi below 32mm or 44 IDF with very small vents	Can work, but low-speed signal may be softer than a 40 DCOE.
DCOE / IDF Body	48 body with venturi below 36mm	Usually happier with larger chokes and higher-RPM combinations.
32/36 Progressive	Any listed model	Primary barrels handle cruise and progression; secondary barrels come in later, so response depends heavily on linkage, manifold heat, and distributor curve.
