Twin dellorto drla 40 carbs

Post by triggermala »

Hi, I will be fitting these soon to my 2.00 cu. What is the best way to link them up to the fuel pipe and each other. What size fuel pipe do you use. Any pictures would be much appreciated.

Dellorto carb fuel inlets are usually 8mm hose, generally one carb has a two hose connection and one has one hose connection, although you can use a one hose connection on both carbs with a tee piece in the supply from the pump. Have a look on the' Eurocarb' website , the book 'Dellorto superformance' is well worth buying. If using an electric pump you will need the 'fast road engine' 'Facet' cube or larger or you will face a supply problem at full throttle. :ok

P.S. use a pressure regulator as well.

Hi Is this the preferred way of connecting the carbs with a pipe from one carb banjo to the other one. Thanks.

according to the book using the single and twin banjo's are adequate for all but racing engines, but under some circumstances the carb at the end of the line may run lean
