Setting up Dellorto carbs
200mph - 20/1/04 at 02:13 PM

I have a good book about the setting up of Weber carbs, with a list of all relevant settings. Are these roughly apllicable to dellortos?

If not, anyone know a book that lists everything?

cheers

As far as im aware. (from my sunbeam racing days) the dellorto 40/45s were the same design as the 40/45 Webers. Most decent carb specialists had any part i required for my sunbeam Dellortos . I would be very surprised if any of the design was different.

Yup, the designs are surprisingly similar. The accel pump works differently, and the jet numbering system actually makes sense with Delli's, unlike Weber which seems to be completely random. The 'setup' procedures will follow suit.

Hi Mark

only main difference i now when setting up is that Dellorto's use a finer thread on there idle screws and need to be turned out further

I have the Speedpro book on weber & delorto if you need any more info

Hope this helps
