Dellorto rebuild
Posted: Mon May 31, 2021 8:47 am
Eurocarb will rebuild a pair of DHLA for close on £1000, which I think we will all agree is expensive. When I rebuilt my engine I stripped my carbs and replaced all seals, gaskets spindle bearing etc plus gave the bodies a damn good clean.
I’ve been setting the engine up this week and I can see from the 4 channel manometer that cylinder 1 has greater airflow than 2. My understanding is that one is meant to be able to twist the shaft to balance this out. Seems to me that this is guaranteed to ***k them up.
I’m really loathed to spend a thousand pounds to put this right. I really can’t see that it should be costing a grand to rebuild these carbs as all they seem to replace is those parts I’ve already replaced.
Any suggestions?
