GCR says only solex, weber 40 IDF, or dellorto 40 allowed in EP. I remember something about the del 40's being equal to the weber 44's. So should I go with the del's or stick with the more common webbers.
Also, are parts available for the dels?
engine size is limited to 2.0.
thanks,

Dell's are getting harder to find parts for....I'd stay with the Webers. I never liked Solexes.

The Solex's will make much more power then the Del's or the Weber's. The opening on the Solex's are 44mm w/ 40mm throttle plate. The others are about 38mm at the top. I had Solex's on my 1.8 EP( when it was still in EP) and never had a problem. They are for sale with my 1.8 engine with exhaust. It is in the race parts section.

It is legal to modify the Webers in such a way that they are equal to the Solex's. I have done this on my own Weber carbs. They flow just fine. Without the mods, the biggest usable chokes are 34mm. After modifying them 38mm chokes will work.
