Webber 45's book?
Can anyone recomend me a book on setting up webber 45's.
I'm buying a pair of 45 DCOE's tomorrow night. I'll have help with setting them up but would at least like to find out how the carbs
work and what the chokes jets actually do etc.
I tried the haynes 'tuning webber carbs' but it only included oem car carbs, not 45dcoe's, that got taken straight back to
halfords!

I phoned Haynes about book on DCOE's and they seemed to think that while they did have a book about them, they didn't think they did any
more.
I've got one by Motorbooks - Powertech Series called How to tune and modify carburetor performance which devotes a chapter to DCOE's and
seems OK.

Have a look at Dave Andrew's site. He has some interesting stuff about weber carbs and other stuff that could be of interest.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Or get Dave Walkers book on Engine Management (published by Haynes, funny enough) which has a large section on Weber/Dellorto setting up and
selection. ANd then the book goes on to tell you how to go about EFI, when you get pissed off with throwing bucket loads of fuel into your engine.
I'm still on the carb stage myself at the mo....
Cheers, Stu.
Dont just build it.....make it!

hey ned.ive just started me 16v motor today with the help of me m8,ive bolted a pair of 45 webbers straight out of the box,they are jetted for a 2.ol
engine and hell it runs a treat,but seems pretty good factory set but will need some tweaking,oh make sure they have plastic gaskets with o rings in
and have rubber washers to dampen them .and not to tighten the bolts up to tight,you may know this already so if you do im sorry...cheers

Webber 45's Book?
Try Weber Carburetor by Pat Braden. Loads of good information on all types of Webers, how they work, servicing and setting them up once installed.
I got my copy from Amazon....

Thank you Mr A Badger.
It's now a tos up between the book linked above and the
"How to Build & Power Tune Weber & Dellorto
DCOE & DHLA Carburetors " book
The book from the last post was published in 1988, the one in this post is last year, though has a bad review on amazon.
any other comments on either of these two books?

Weber 45's Book
Ned,
I read the same bad review on the Power Tune book so ended up with the older (and slightly American focused) Book. Having said that I found the book a
really excellent read.
The book starts with a section on the fundamentals of carbs, how they work and in particular the function of each part of a weber carb. There is then
a large troubleshooting (or tuning) section that guide you through setting up different types, how to identify which jet is causing problems and how
to select jets to fix it. This has lots of detail, good advice and practical appliation, the book is probably worth the money for this alone.
The other part that is relevant is another detail chapter on servicing DCOE's, lots of diagrams and good advice.
Andrew
