Dellorto DRLA.... Rolls Royce of flat four carbs
very expensive from new but deliver grins
choke size depends on your engine size and whether it's Aircooled or water cooled

[looking4aT25]

sorry i should have said, it is a 2.0 CU Aircooled engine. thanks

mmmm.... type three inlet manifolds and a pair of Dells... you won't be able to wipe the grin off

36mm or 40mm dells are a must.

best thing you will ever do to your van.

not cheap but increased mpg , power and the best induction note ever. fact

Fact....

Hello,

Have you tried cleaning, servicing, and setting you existing carbs yet. Solex Pdsit 2/3 s .

Spend the money instead on a brake overhaul, oil changes, and a furry dice, before rushing out and buying carbs off the shelf.

fair point but rebuilt solex will always be just that and not a patch on the dells.

Sarran 1955, they were good you tube threads,

Can you help with mine, ?

I dont have the kit that you have though, I haved balanced the carbs using a crypton type gauge,

I have a vac gauge, showing 200 at 3400 rpm

what did you set the throttle plates to ?

am I wasting my time with out a CO gauge ?

Thanks

Brett

[sarran1955]

Hello,

Yes you can set up your carbs to the optimum,

A co meter is not vital, just makes things a lot easier....

Avoids the floundering about in the dark syndrome

Its a bit late now, and I tomorrow, (no today )am going to a petrol head meeting of big jeeps.. 4 litres with blowers

We'll pick this up next week.

Sort your timing, polish your hubcaps, and dream of 'on song' flat 4's


Cordialement,

[Brett-Aircooled]

Great ! thanks

[martbass]

Do the dells just fit onto standard 2.0 cu inlet manifolds?
What mods need doing for the throttle linkage?
Is there any info about what jetting they need for specific engines?
