Weber Carbs.

Looking over my new Elan project I notice that the Webers are neither 18's or 31's but are both marked 126. Is this something I should worry about or not?

Mike,
Can you check again. Are you saying the carbs are identified "Tipo 40 DCOE 126"?
Elliott.

Hello Elliott,
Yes, they are Tipo 40 DCOE 126A.

Hmmmm...
I'm hardly a Weber expert but I haven't come across references to 126A's before but basically a DCOE40 is a DCOE40 - the different types generally vary the accelerator pump and the progression circuits and were intended to suit the characteristics of different car/engine combinations. My Elan has DCOE 40 Type 2's and I have no issues whatsoever. I don't know when/how it got them - both the previous 2 owners swear they were on it during their ownerships which accounts for nearly 30 years!
I wouldn't get alarmed right now. Keep going and wait until you're up and running to see if you actually hit any issues.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
