I gave up on my Weber's and got a set of Dellortos. Had them rebuilt professionally and have installed on the new motor (1.8 built out to 2056).

I can't get them running without covering the air intakes on the carbs. I believe I have a vacuum leak somewhere besides thecarbs or intake manifolds.

Wondering if I missed some type of vacuum port on the engine itself. Anyone have a suggestion on where else air could be getting into the engine?

OOps, sorry, you got rid of the weber 44s for Dellorto 40. My read of this tuning guide shows Dels also may have air bypass valves that seem like they should be where you have vacuum ports plugged. You may need valves in there to plug the passage that is letting too much bypass air through.
