Carbie tuner/re-jetter in SA
Soon I'll be needing to get my Dell'Orto tuned and re-jetted. Does anyone have a recommendation for someone in SA that can do this?

Re: Carbie tuner/re-jetter in SA
Are you wanting to have a go at this your self?
Single or twin? Assuming side draught?
If so, I can recommend some material for you to read (books) and euro carb know there stuff for getting a starting point with the jetting, chokes.

What I have is a single side draft Dell'Orto DLHA 40 on a 2.0L Astron 80 with extractors and mild street cam. I was thinking about doing it myself, but also thinking it might be worth paying someone to do it properly.

put a new gasket kit on it at the same time

I am north of the city, but the Lancer LC this engine is in, it is just outside of the city to the east. The carbie has been recently been rebuilt, and was on a 2.0L Sigma Wagon. It ran ok, but apparently had a flat spot. It should be good enough to drive it there to get done.

Re: Carbie tuner/re-jetter in SA
A single 40 is going to be maxed out on a 2lt, but i guess tune it low and should be right for daily duties.
-Do you know what is in it at the moment?
-choke size, main jet, pump jet, idle jet?
Also, what letter is stamped after DHLA40_ ?

Re: Carbie tuner/re-jetter in SA
I am not too sure what the jets are at the moment, but it was off a twin set off a Alfa Romeo 2.0L. I don't have the carbie with me at the moment, but will have a look at what is when I see it next.81GL wrote:A single 40 is going to be maxed out on a 2lt, but i guess tune it low and should be right for daily duties.

Place in Lonsdale? I think, called Fours&more or something like that. Couple of guys I know can't speak highly enough of them, maybe give them a shot?

Re: Carbie tuner/re-jetter in SA
this was my first thought, id be aiming for a single 45, or twin 40's to get the most out of your other mods81GL wrote:A single 40 is going to be maxed out on a 2lt, but i guess tune it low and should be right for daily duties.

Re: Carbie tuner/re-jetter in SA
Hey Cottee's, I have a twin side draught manifold you can have for cheap. Might be a good way to go twins, I really think the 2.0 will struggle on a single 40mm. My old man used to rally back in the day and he reckons the Datsun 1600's used to run twin 40's
Give me a call if you are interested.
