74 2.0 with Dellorto 36 duals has been running fine since I pulled it out of storage, got in it to run pick up a pizza the other day and it seemed to lack power, tonight I took the air filters off and turned on the fuel pump, holy crap the left front carb barrel started filling up with fuel! The rear barrel seemed fine, just the left front barrel??? Any ideas, I have pulled the carb and it looks okay, the only odd thin is the large spring under the brass nut is kind of gunked up. I'll go snap a pic.
These were purchased rebuilt from the guy in Italy, they ran fine all last year. |

You probably have the Dellorto Drip. Go to the clinic and get a quick shot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Seriously, I had the same problem. Apparently it is fairly common on Dells. Basically there are plugs that are used to fill some passages in the carb used in manufacturing. These eventually begin leaking. Google Art Theron (sp?). He is the man. Ship him your carb and you will be back in business. Didn't cost much as I recall. Do a search here as well. good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
