Carbs

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by top banana racing, Mar 12, 2014.

  1. Of the urettor variety not the ohydrates.
    If you, say, had a type 4 of around 1910cc what would you recommend in the way of carbs, reliability and little fecking around being high on the list, performance secondary.
     
  2. A nice set of 40mm 914 solex carbs

    Or

    A nice set of 40mm dellortos

    Or

    A nice set of 44mm Weber IDF

    Take your pick and I'll let know how much
    ;)

  3. EFI......
     
  4. I have one of those too. Refurbed injectors and new cold start valve. Bargainous
    :)
     
  5. I have Solex's.
    The point of the question is which is less grief?
     
  6. There are lots of new EFI kits about ,depends really on budget
     
  7. Dells, i got them, no hassel
     
  8. What I want is fit and forget, I'm not one for *******ing about once stuff is done, do it once, properly.
     
  9. Silver

    Silver Needs points/will pay!

    How much for the Dellortos?
     
  10. FI then as carbs always require some form of tinkering regardless of how good they are. If it was a type 1 I'd say stick with a stock carb but a single carb on a type 4 is pretty crap, so its twins or FI
    :)
     
  11. What size engine can a original FI system cope with?
     
  12. I wouldn't try it. The original FI is likely to be set up for the engine size it was intended for. I'd doubt you could significantly mod it for different engine sizes. They're a bit crude by today's standards.
     
  13. O.E. or aftermarket?
     
  14. 2l if it was fitted to a 2l :lol:

    They are a rudimentary system... they work on airflow into the engine, so if you go bigger, then you can essentially run the engine lean!! :)
