That F11 is your emulsion tube. There should be a number on the part above and the part below the emulsion tube. The bottom part is your main fuel jet. The top is the air correction jet (or air bleed).

40mm venturis are a little big but I have them on my DCOE 48 on my stockport 12A and it runs alright (I'm switching to 38mm shortly). Your gonna get a bog if you stomp on the gas right off the bat no matter what but you should be able to ease on the gas and get to full throttle.

BTW let me know what your numbers are and I'll check mine tomorrow (I forget what I have in it) so that you can at least get a starting point. Mine is in need of tuning cause its way too rich.

Hey 680RWHP12A, I see you are affiliated with Rotary Shack. I'm looking for a pair of 38mm venturis for my Weber DCOE 48, do you carry them and if so, how much? I found the carb kits and intakes but didn't see a section for parts. I'll be needing some extra jets as well when I get to that point.

Thanks,
Tom

I know this may sound stupid, but my IDA did that when I had my wiring to the distributor wrong. I had the leading and trailing switiched....tried to quickly open the throttle and it just went BAAAAHHHHHHH! and would die....you may have a look see to make sure.

Dude
No disrespect but you need to buy the weber book and go from there. if you dont understand how it works, then everyone's advice is useless.
