I'm the proud new owner of a pair of Dellortos!
Probably one of the sets I rebuilt and sold, only to be resold at a higher price
They look nice though!
Very nice...
Ha! Perhaps. Doubtful. The guy I bought them from sent me a few photos of them being rebuilt and bench tested. But maybe...
My fetish for analog technology includes a good deal of carburetor porn.
Very nice find, I'm jealous...
Those look like the Asian castings
DRLAs you'll love em. If u don't have it order the CB Prrformance book. You will need it at some point. Happy birthday
4 full gas pedal pumps then turn the key when cold works almost always. Hot, turn the key.
Asian castings? Cleft my heart in twain, will you? How can I verify that? They certainly don't look new, just rebuilt. I'll see if I can locate some casting number information. Of course, I'm only worried about that if something actually goes wrong, which I seriously doubt.
Yup. The Tomlinson book is already ordered and shipped.
He's kidding about the asian castings. Only Webers fell into that problem. All DRLA's are made in good old Italy.
Had me worried for a second. I knew about the new Webers being made with Asian castings, but I thought all the Dellortos were old stock and not made anymore. Let me just wipe the sweat from my brow...
If you got them from alfa1750 you've got the real McCoy, as well as a very well prepped set.
Well then! Real McCoys they are!
I had no doubts. In other news, one whole D-Jet setup will shortly be put up for sale. (* some assembly required *)
If you haven't gotten them already, these were recommended to me for my DRLA's, and I'd definitely recommend them now to prevent clogged idle jets.

Plus one on Alfa1750, good stuff. I think I still have a pair of his DRLA's in a box somewhere, from him at least 15 years ago. I know for sure I still have a pair of side-draft DHLA's, just saw those recently.
No, those balls are actually small lead bb's used to block off the current idle jet air holes in the top of the carb. The kit changes the routing of the idle air through the raised idle jet holder now. It's all in the included instructions. I've done this kit a coulple times and it's highly recommended.

I apologize - I missed the link to that kit from CB. I thought he was talking about a rebuild kit, in which sometimes new check balls are included.
what does alfa1750 charge to go thru a set of carbs? i realize if the plate shaft bushings/bearings are shot more expense might be involved. or is that part of his rebuild?
Sorry Marcus
Did not mean to worry you.
My bad humor.

John, not a worry! You had me for a moment!
