A Weber 32/36 will be a good choice, and probably there are others as well. Fitting the air cleaner housing will always be the more challenging part.
The Hitachi you have has the secondary body vaccum actuated, and prone to problems.

I personally have not done anything with a Weber, but kept the reference of one that was used by a member in a now disappeared forum: Weber 32/36 DGV 5A
