Scott,
In the event that you don't find another set, I wouldn't hesitate to try
and rebuild the ones you have. The old Dellorto square slides are a
robust, easy to service design, that can be returned to their former
glory probably 95% of the time. Heck, mine were so corroded that the
choke slides were stuck in the bores. It took me a lot of WD-40 and
screwdriver work to get them out, but once I re-reamed the bores
everything worked fine. Keep in mind that the outside of the carbs can
look just absolutely awful, but it is really the insides that do all the
work. New gaskets, o-rings, float needles, and choke slides should have
you good-as-new.

I want good carbs, not ones that need a good cleaning. The ones I have on there now are working, but they were so badly corroded, I dont think they will ever be any good. Please respond off list, I am willing to pay a decent price. Scott Glenwood, Iowa |
