Hmm, don't know that. My little overworked brain's already stuffed to overflowing with details about how to set up Amals on my Britbikes and SUs on my MG and Morgan and what the float levels should be and which slide cutaway goes with which jet and what part of the throttle range is controlled by the pilot system, and needle profile, and the main jet and WATCH OUT for the stock float bowl gaskets on the Amals cause they'll pinch the float pivot unless you trim them etc etc etc. I'm not sure my overstrained memory can hold any more tricks and tips about another brand of carb like Dellortos. Maybe if it's nice and simple when I take the float bowls off I can do it. But if there are lots of little parts and emulsion tubes and weirdness going on in there, I need to know what address to put on the box that I'm going to send them away in so they can come back fixed and I can RIDE instead of standing in front of my workbench all night trying to figure out what was in some other person's mind the last time THEY were inside my carburetors...(sigh). Pilot jets, huh? I'll give it a shot... Lannis (whose fingers always seem to smell like gasoline these days) |
