Reply to "Chesil Speedster - my planned winter overhaul of '98 build"

Martin:   I futzed around with my Dellorto 40's for Years before I finally threw in the towel and sent them to a professional at Blackline Racing here in the states.

When they went out to them, this is what I had installed for jetting:

These carburetors come stock with:

60 idle jets

140 Main jets,

180 air correction jets,

35 accelerator pump jets and

34mm venturiis.  

I had drilled the Mains out to 162.5 (happens to be a drill size) to overcome transition hesitation, which never went away.

This is what they had when I got them back from the rebuild, set up to my engine specs by Dave Hogland at Blackline Racing in Utah, who set them up on a flow bench and then tested them on a 1915cc engine (mine is a 2,110).

The jet sizes are:

.45 idles

1.30 mains

160 air correctors (to slow down the fuel through the main jets to overcome hesitation)

.35 Accelerator pump jets

32mm Venturis  

E-Tube = #2

They are now so smooth they feel like fuel injection.  I love 'em.
