Dellorto twin 40's
Is Re-ferbin and re-jetting a pair of dellortos a possible diy job or is it one for the pro's? Either way does anyone know where to get it done
or where to get the bits in west yorkshire???
Band Anyone?

Main UK Supplier is eurocarb in Reading...
depending how bad they are, refurbing at home is perfectly within the realms of possibility

Check this guy out
Check out the guy in this link from www.tigerownersclub.co.uk
He has done a pair of webbers for me and made a beaut job and very reasonable and quick as well. If he can do Webers dont see why he couldnt do
Dellortos.

Really quite straightforward if you take your time and be careful. Get yourself a pair of rebuild kits-got mine off ebay-some kits come with different
bits depending where you get them.
Can of Carb cleaner and some small brushes for the bodies-give them a nice scrub down, selection of small screw drivers for the covers/jets etc and
plenty of WD40 cos some will be stiff.
Most kits wont have new screws etc so you may need to call someone like Eurocarb for these.
Make sure to set the correct float levels in both carbs.
Make sure all the jets match in both carbs too-you might not know the correct jetting for your set up so a rolling road tune will be needed after-as
long as both sets are the same you should be able to get it running, but a rolling road will get them spot on.
An air line is also handy for blowing thru jets to clean them out.
Do one bit at a time, lay out your rebuild kit, remove a jet and see if it has a seal, replace as necessary and put back in, just work methodically
and its easy.
And have a CLEAN work area-kitchen tables are by far the best place-wife allowing of course!!

Clean the outside with cellulose thinners first to get the worst off, it's cheaper than carb cleaner. Use a stiff paint brush to get in the
corners and an airline to dry it if you have one.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Try www.jrs.uk.com. They specialise in dellorto's but cleaned a couple of DCOE's for me and they came back mint.
