I've been wrestling with a set of 40 DRLA's I bought off Ebay from ALFA1750 a couple months (seems like years) ago.
first: He's First Rate! I would definitely buy from him again- After I got the carbs he even boxed up and sent me different venturis, jets, and gaskets for practically nothing! AND emailed me several times with advice on getting these right. Anyhow, the carbs are in very good condition, but had a problem running- VERY bad backfiring, no power from one carb...etc etc... AFTER installing 34mm vents/135 mains/.2 emulsion/55pump jets/60 Idles AND replacing the bent mixture screw and o-rings to the 2ndary vents I eventually pulled out the plugs that HIDE the air-correction screw. Turned the screw OUT 1/2 turn- whammo! I guess that was it. Back on the road sand this thing rips! If anyone ever has a chance, my vote is UPGRADE from 36mm dell's to the 40's- VERY big difference. Also a decent difference from 30mm vents to 34mm. I had to pick the brains of some experts out there and want to say thanks too! Regards, Robert O P.s. 914's RULE in the snow! If only it was this slick out in the summer!! Attached image(s) |

Jake-
I dont know for sure the carbs came off a Fiat, I just dont know what other cars would have had DRLA's and since they came from a guy in Italy...it seems like a likely source. Are the actual carb bodies different? They had the enrichment device (deleted), but they are DRLA's, so isn't jetting the issue? And for the price he sells them for I can still buy the update kits and be way ahead. Without buying NEW carbs I could (and have) run into much worse problems than I have with these. _R O |
