When PMO came out with their CARBS, they eliminated ALL of the short comings in design and engineering of WEBERS except that some FOLKS are hung up on the WEBER name....despite the fact that PMO is largely a SUPERIOR product. SO....its "ME" that has accepted these flat spots....YESSIR...MY PROBLEM..MY CHOICE and my mechanic thinks that I should keep the WEBERS for originality/historic purposes and allow him and EUROMETRIX to rebuild/rebush/remachine my WEBERS!

I don't quite get this. 6 cylinder Porsches only had Webers on the 2.0 liter from 1965 to 1969. The 2.2 had Zeniths, as did the 2.4(some racing engines had Webers, but most were MFI). The 2.7 never had Webers, it had MFI then CIS/K -Jetronic. To what originality/historic purposes are you speaking? Is your 2.7 in a 911?

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT: My mechanic was largely referring to the HOT RODDING/RACING and aftermarket management of 2.7. The literature points to many dumping the FUEL INJECTION because it was NEVER performance oriented and folks got MORE horse power with WEBERS......a GOOGLE SEARCH on this which I have done a number of times refers to almost ALL of the horse power upgrades come along with WEBERS: BUT YOU ARE CORRECT about FACTORY ORIGINALITY and I stand corrected (thank you)
