Buy Dells!

I have a set of 44's that I would sale with intakes and all for 400. I am selling my webbers because i have a set of dells. It will take a little bit of jetting to get them just right. The jetting depends a lot more that just cam size.

I built an adapter to fit on a Dellorto intake to fit a ford 2 barrel carb that will TURN it on! The carb came off a 302 c.i. which is a 5.0 (5000 cc motor) so you know a toy 1915 will work fine.It works perfect but an 1835 will get bogged out.DO NOT OVERLOOK A FORD 2 BARREL. IT WILL PERFORM as equal or better than a single Dellorto.205 369-7406

V-Dude:

My wife's buggy has a 1915 with about the same specs. When I bought that buggy it had a single Dellorto DLRA 40 setup that ran like crap. There was a huge flat spot starting at about 2500 RPM that I could not get corrected no matter what I did. I changed jets, bought the CB upgrade kit, tuned, cussed, and threw tools, nothing worked. I finally bought a pair of Weber (EMPI) 44's. Once I get them dialed in they work great. No flat spot, good powerband all they way to redline. She loves them. (Bill, if you're reading this, I got the problem we had a Windrock fixed - it was a bad top gasket leaking air).

I have always had Webers (EMPI) and the one thing I don't like about Dells in comparison is the idle jet location. If you have to clean a jet on the trail you must take the filter assembly off to get to it. This sucks because there is a good chance that dirt/mud/crap will get in the carb when you do this. With Webers, the screw to get to the jets is external so the filter stays on if a jet needs attention.

Good Luck!

Dale

I'd say 44's,I agree on that with the right tuning and as with anything always,always keep your air,and fuel clean,you can't beat the weber,IMO.a lot guys can't run them and call them junk but a lot times it's just operator error,lol.Chad :mrgreen:

A set of 40's would be great on that engine. Absolutely no need to use 44mm carbs on an engine that small,ESPECIALLY with stock size valves. The EMPI carbs seem to be working fine these days.I do recommend using CB's intakes and linkage set up.

That's why I use wheel grease top and bottom of filter.
My pinion broke because the maincase cracked right at the cv flange and let the ring gear deflect.
I got her fixed now [new case], and added a steel plate between the bellhousing and maincase to strengthen that area.

While I agree with Arron if you decide to build a stroker down the road buying the larger carbs will save some money.
