I picked up a set of these carbs to replace the 44idf's the PO put on the car. The 44's were way too big for my humble 1.7.
Anyway, I'm messing around with the adjustments on the carb and I can't hear any difference in the way the car is idling. I can see rich exhaust. If you try to accelerate quickly the car falls on it's face, hard.
There is a idle linkage adjust screw, that's a given. Then what I *think* is an idle air bypass on the side, and main jet on the top of the carb. There is a nut on the link to the accelerator pump too, I don't know if that is supposed to be adjustable though. I searched all over google, and there is literally no info on these carbs out there.
I can get a pic if need be, I just want to make sure my assumptions are correct. If they are, it seems like these tiny are still too rich for my engine. Why couldn't the PO just leave the FI alone.

what size are the jets?
Rich
take some pics
Dan,
My Dellorto Tech book has a small section on FRD 34's. I could fax them to you tomorrow if you like.
It mentions that standard jetting and such was:
Vent = 27
Air = 170
Main = 128
Idle = 45
Acc Pump = 50
But these settings were for 1600cc engines. It suggest using 135 Mains for "high performance 1835cc engines".
