Title: WTB: pair of 40mm dellorto or weber carbies
Post by: Mike on July 12, 2011, 12:47:55 PM
Just chasing down a pair of 40mm carbies off a 2liter GTV.  If someone has gone to 45's and has the old set sitting around, that would be great.  I'd prefer Weber given the choice.  Can either pay cash or trade parts.  I'd like a matching set, and specifically Alfa carbies from a 2liter...not 1.8L.

PM me.

Cheers
Mike

Thanks for all the responses guys.  I have not yet been offered a pair of webers, but plenty of dellorto's surfacing...probably no surprise.  I have tentatively purchased one set from a fellow and would like another spare set so if you have a pair, I'm still after one more.

Cheers
Mike

Depending on who you ask. Some swear by Webers and others swear by Dellorto.

In years gone by Webers were easier to tune and get rid of flat spots, but that was in a time when Webers were more widely used and a few experts actually knew what they were doing.

Delloro's are more complex in their fueling approach and therefore more tunable...but you can't easily get dellorto spares from what I understand...and so become a pain to tune.  You can 'supposedly' get parts for Webers, but anyone who has tried will tell you the delivery of said parts can be a lucky dip...

Probably a whole new topic of discussion in itself with far more knowledgable people than myself on the topic.  Guys I have what I need Delloro wise now, so only looking for a pair of Webers now.

Thanks for the help.

Re the parts -  this guy: http://stores.ebay.com.au/ALFA1750S-CARBURETORS-PARTS-STORE  seems to have a good reputation on the Alfa intarwebs for Dellorto / Weber bits and pieces.  I have seen the replacement steel mixture screws available for the dellortos,  to replace the soft brass ones which round off so easily...
