Hey volksmaster,
I had a Weber 32/36 on my 1500 and it seemed to do pretty well. i know that my friend had one on his 1800 and he was still getting 35mpg with it (sorry- I don't know l/100km). Mine has been sitting in my garage since I swapped the diesel in last month. If ya want it I would send it to you $50 +shipping and I get a discount at fedex but don't know if that is good for international. Also if you wanted the manifold i could ship that too, but that would probably rack up the shipping costs. It has been converted to man. choke and was off a vanagon so it could probably use re-jetting, which I never did. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post some pics or something.

cheers for the offer mortskeg but i think the shipping would be crazy and id need one on auto choke i think if i ever visit the states i'll come and get it LMAO
