Aha, you inspired me to find it!
twin 40DHLA,278degree cams. Dizzy 32degrees max advance.

34mm chokes
142 mains
200 air
45 pumps
50 idle (these must be non-emission carbs, emission ones would need at least a 60 idle0
7850.1 idle jet holder
7772.5 emulsion
7848.1 aux venturi
15mm float shut off

Be aware that most dellortos are emission ones which will make a HUGE difference to jets etc and the emulsions are not interchangable in the same way. More info try http://www.sideways-technologies.co.uk/forum/Blah.pl?b-Del1/

50 idle too small, you'll need atleast a 56-57 on the 7850.1 holder.

50 will barely even run a 1300 8V with a limp cam using 7850.1.

I'd use the 7850.1 its the cleanest atomising holder imo...

1300-1500 = 50-53 idle
1600-1800 = 54-57
1800-2100 = 57-60

142 main/200 corrector will lean out like mad at the top-end too.

Better on 45's.

Try this jetting, on DHLA45.

idle 58
holder 7850.1
main jet 155
Emulsion No.6
Air corrector 170
Pump 45
Needle valve 200
Choke 36mm
