First off...weber carbs suck.

OK...enough of my silly opinions.

Ever since I've been driving old Volvos, I've had the same damn problem and the best solution I've found is the winter/summer timing issue. When the weather is cold, crank that distributor a couple degrees clockwise. When it warms up again in the spring, put it back.

Of course, its a bit of a hassle during the fall and spring.....but if you are good, you can make the adjustment in about 45 seconds. About the time one might expect to wait at a red light. (Yes...I know this from experience)

The other alternative (which you gave up with the weber) is to leave the choke out a little. That works too...if you don't mind about 8mpg.
