I have dual Dellorto carbs on my 2.0 and I've had them tuned a few times by a shop by my house but I feel like it still doesn't have very great throttle response. Also, the carbs cough above 3,000 rpm and I'm getting popping out of the exhaust under deceleration. Any advice about what is going on with my carbs and any recommendations of shops in SoCal that do quality work on type 4s would be awesome!

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Jon, I just recently put duel dells on my 75 2.0 and they run great. I had expected more fine tuning, but they didn't require alot, maybe because of the duel webber experience on my 74. Who knows and cares. Anyway, first thing i did was rebuild them myself, not hard at all. I called these guys, told them what I had and ordered new jets, and everything just came out real good.

Secondly, you must make sure your timing is correct or you will just chase your tail trouble shooting. next make sure linkage between the two is correct and even. very important! Next syncro them. Then you should be very close and require only a few adjustments. Popping probably means they are lean unless you have an exhaust leak. Good luck you can PM me if you need further help. Hope this helps. I have a list of the jet sizes I used at home if you need them.
