webbers are good... although mine will do 55mph i 3rd easily :P
but unless you mod them a bit they flood and conk out up steep hills!

Take it from someone who got stuck really high up on a hill too steep to turn around on with no engine and thus no brakes!!!!

you still have brakes with no servo, it's just the pedal is as stiff as it would be without the servo. i.e. just a master cylinder ;)

yeah but when you are reversing down a 45*+ slope that takes half an hour to get down its very hard work!

i run a weber on my 1.6 8v in my sammy on 32s . . . i took it off the old 1.3 and haven't even re jetted it (just fiddled with the settings a tad) ive had 90(on sat nav) out of it on the motorway down hill with the 1.6 . . . it did scare me tho . . . only because at 90 all the rattles stopped :S

they can flood going up hills but ive not had a problem yet

I used to have one when it was a 1.3 great for on road but I had nothing but trouble off road. Still got good money for it
