Man everytime I read your posts I start to kinda regret buying my dellorto and I havent even got it yet!

 

you got to think that i got one of mine from a fool that didnt take of it! and the other came off a dead 82 83 gls and i dont think either one of the old owner knew what they had nor knkew how to take care of them so dont sweat it. and you got to think too that there are plently of ppl on here that have had dellortos w/o the problems i had. and some advice the idle set screw doesnt tighten down anymore and there are still threads showing dont try and make them go any more. thats what i did bc the threads where jacked and i thought it was my threads that made it so it couldnt go anymore.

 

just call jorge @ http://europeanmotorworks.com/

 

call him about my new problem with my tubes being all fuked up?

 

over screwed idle mixture screws can be fixed with devcon aluminum putty.

not cheap but is gas resistant and bonds very very very well to aluminum dellorto.

then call jorge and get a matched pair of screws. sheesh.

 

so use this devcon aluminum putty and redrill the hole and then call Jorge and have a matching set of idle set screws and im all good. sounds simple enough. thanks DF7!

edit: can i use the devcon plastic steel putty from racing beat or do i need the aluminum putty
