I’m doing an 4 cyl engine swap and have a known good set of Webers and a set of Dellortos. The Dells came on the “new” engine, which has approx 8k miles (Dells were purchased new at that time), before taken out of service for 6 conversion about 15 years ago. The Dells of course need gasket kits from sitting idle.
I know Webers, but I’ve never done anything with Dellortos. Condition wise the Dells are probably better and service life is much lower. The Webers are made in Spain, in excellent condition, and recently gone through. If you’ve had experience with both, which would you use, and why? This isn’t a F.I. vrs carb debate. The engine has a carb cam, and with two good sets of carbs in hand, F.I. isn’t on the table |
