Sanity Check
I bought my carbs second hand & was told they were off a Pinto and indeed they were on a pinto manifold. Now I'm sure he said they were off
a 2.0L.
I am running a 1600 pinto so have just checked what the difference is between the "ideal" jets and whats fitted. I am surprised at the
result and it's got me baffled, especially about the choke size !
Ideal settings ( Burton power Etc )
Chokes 34mm
Mains 135
Emulsion F11
Air Cor 190
Pump 35
Idle 40/F9
Fitted
Chokes 30mm
Mains 115
Elulsion F11
Air Cor 200
Pump 40
Idle 45/F9
Am I reading choke size right, I look down intake and see 30 in raised numerals on casting.
Dont mind buying jets but chokes ! HOW MUCH ?
Cheers

Second hand weber's, tut tut !!
Bin them, just like i have, as after 2 engines, totaled, and 10mpg they were not worth jack shite
unreliable, pissed fuel out, never in tune for more than a day,
my 28/36 dcd give just as much power as needed, and 30 mpg
1960's weber technology in 2010 says it all really
fwiw mine were 34mm on a 1700 xflow
