Mazda BT 50 & Pickup TrucksWhile Mazda may not be known for their trucks, they have always produced quality reliable trucks for both hauling cargo, or simply crusing. BT 50
Recently picked up this project, which needs some love. Wondering what lift kits are available these days? I see a 3" body lift available, but what is still available for suspension?
The truck also has a weber carb upgrade, but I don't think it was done correctly because it idles very badly. Is there install instructions for the weber somewhere on the forum for the 2600?
As to the Weber kit, the main issues seem to be related to vacuum leaks. That said: just last Saturday I re-sealed the adapter plates using new gaskets, even sanded the adapter plates perfectly flat using 180 grit wet/dry on a sheet of glass (the common lack of flatness wasn't known to me in 2005). I have a 1988 B2200 with the Weber DGEV 32/36 since 2005, and had been using homemade gaskets I cut from rubberized sheet gasket.
My adapters had no cracks from overtightening as I'd torqued them before as per Weber/Redline installation instructions. The carburetor mounting studs "might have" protruded and pushed the adapter up a hair, so I sanded that part smooth with the adapter surface. I used Permatex Aviation on the new gaskets, a thin film.
