I am getting a new Dellorto DHLA 48 Carb for my SP 12a. I dont really have much experience with tuning these types of carbs. I getting a Wide Band 02 to help in the tuning process, but I saw this book on ebay and was wondering if it is any good or if it is just a waste of money.

heres the link:

Any buddy on here use this book? Or use a book they think is better?

Let me know

 

im in the same situation as you. i just recently picked up a weber and have no idea what im doing. i was directed towards the haynes weber manual by a forum member. i pick it up today after having a locla parts store order it for like $20

 

how to build and powertune is an excellent book. after i bought my first dellorto it was not running right. i bought and read the book cover to cover then tuned that puppy. works great. any dhla questions just ask, also www.gruntled.com is a great resource for dhla.

i bought the haynes weber book and it is good but the book above goes into more detail, more pictures, more tuning and performance help.

 

what about for IDA and IDF?

 

good book, i got mine on amazon for like $25 though. it will give you a much more thurough understanding of how your carb works.

 

not on dellorto but helpful

The Haynes book goes over IDA and IDF as well as many, many other models (including DCD that Rotary Engineering used). Not as thorough as the how to powertune but it'll give you a good understanding of how it works along with exploded parts diagram. You can get the Haynes books on ebay for $8.00 usually.

 

I have this one in Soft form if you want it.

 

Sent you a pm on this.
