weber 42dcoe on 13b

recently aquired a weber 42 off a buddy to use on my 13b since my dellorto 48 is pretty screwed up. my question is what jet sizes should i use to make sure its not running lean or anything.

You can get away with it but it won't be enough for a 13B. Not enough CFM for a non boosted 13B.

Consensus on the weber for a rotary would be a 48 DCD. Getting the 48 DCOE would be
worse than the Dellorto. What kind of issues is the Dell giving you? Did you check this
site for jetting for the Dell on a 13B Gruntled.com - Dellorto - Jetting ?

the dellorto was put together by someone not so knowledgeable with them. floats are out of wack and some other ****** is going on with it. i may get a rebuild kit and work on it as time passes but i most likely am going to end up with something new

Carbies take patience and time to get tuned right, its not like EFI in a modern car. You should try a nikki.

How is the Dellorto screwed up?

Unless it's been drilled or otherwise hacked up, it probably needs the correct jetting or new soft parts. Floats can be adjusted. I think tuning it will be cheaper than getting a whole other carb.

There's a tuning book at the bottom of the RX-7 Manuals page on foxed.ca if you are not familiar with them.

How is the 48 DCOE worse than the 48 DHLA?
I thought they're very similar with the biggest difference is the DHLA has a diaphragm accelerator pump, Weber has a metal plunger. And Dellorto jets have a finer range.

Where have you seen a 48 DCD? The Rotary Engineering kit is dual 36 DCD. Did you mean IDA?

Yes, I meant IDA, sorry. The DCOE is harder to tune and less flexible plus RB did some magic to the Dell to make it work better.

Sounds like it's hacked up for sure. Carry on.
