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)

Good looking set up. I like the way you ran your fuel line. You may want to cut an extra inch of fuel line and split it to make a sleeve where it runs through the intake manifold hole. I'd hate to see that rub a hole in the fuel line.
Well, I had to drill and tap mine for the standard weber/dell filter housing base plate, but that's all done now and wasn't a really big deal. I just had to find a bottoming tap rather than a tapered one. I thought this was a little odd myself. I'll have to contact Alfa and get the plates to block the enrichment linkage. I've also got two dual banjo fittings for fuel. Any idea where I can get a single? I'm running standard fuel line and all the fittings I find are for AN line. Matt |
