Dellorto carbs rebuild....do I need this part?, Someone know of a good complete kit? Options

[nsr-jamie]

Hi, still working on the car as usual and its taking forever but has been fun most of the times... I am going to rebuild the carbs on my 914/4. They are 40mm Twin dellorto carbs I bought from Dave at Mid Engine Mania (GPR) years ago, but they are getting a bit old. I want to pull them apart, fully rebuild them and get my car running nice again.

I am having problems finding dellorto carb parts here in Japan. I have checked the CB performance site and am going to place an order next week and want to order the correct rebuild kit but am having problems deciding which I need....

Anybody want to help out?

I noticed this update kit for sale..how about this

Do I need this part? Has anyone done this conversion? Is this also a full rebuild kit too as well?

Sorry for all the questions, hope somebody can help out a bit

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ...do yourself a BIG favor...considering you do not apparently have a great deal of experience with rebuilding carburators, FORGET about the upgrade parts, kit. YOU DO NOT NEED IT. you will probably need to purchase additional main jets to get that system properly jetted....DELLORTO carburators are excellant carburators, and better than weber in certain ways. PURCHASE a complete rebuild kit, to include new float needle valves....ASK for a master rebuild kit.... this means a kit with ALL the rebuild parts. gaskets to needle and seat, to rubber ..O..ring seals, copper sealing rings,etc etc. keep it simple and do-able for yourself. Go online, or get from the parts supplier a diagram of the carb.(most rebuild kits will have a diagram included). remove both carburators. ONLY dissassemble, clean up, one at a time. Use the OTHER carburator as a guide, to ensure reassembly is correct. pay attention to the secondary emulision tubes and their orentation....opening faces float bowl chamber. do not overtighten the set screws in the carb body....good luck.
