Dellorto DRLA rebuild Or Different carbs

Last techenders someone had a look at my Dellorto carbs for me. (Sorry forgot who it was). It was found that the air mixture screws did nothing. I've had a quote of £265 to clean and rebuild each carb. I just wondered what my alternatives are?

 

Get a DRLA parts diagram from the web, several cans of carb cleaner, a can of air duster, a gasket set, and do it yourself. Straightforward enough if you take your time. You don't want to throw DRLAs away. Best carbs of all.

 

What he said /\

But before all that, make sure you don’t have any air leaks below the carbs

 

This^

 

^what they said.

 

Get new carbs I’ll give you a tenner for your old ones

 

Ignore him. I'll give you twenty quid for the pair. Cash waiting

 

Could just be your throttle stops are over-adjusted to get your idle rpm up.
If that's the case (if you're comfortable with this), increase the idle timing a degree or two (which will increase idle rpm) then and back off the throttle stops to slow it back down again. Then check your full advance isn't then out of spec.

If that doesn't work I'll give you £25 for them.

 

£265 is half a days labour. Quite reasonable.

 

Typo corrected.

 

Now it's corrected

 

You beat me to it!

 

He should have quoted me, but I did edit before he posted.

 

I’ve heard that you have that exploded diagram tattooed on your left buttock

 

Have you been peeking ?

 

Only because I want to know what’s tattooed on the other cheek

 

Snotty has twin carbs, there's one on each buttock

 

What type of linkage is between them?
