Lots of wrong myths about the DCOE abound. Two 40 DCOE, even with the smallest venturi's available, flow far more air then the most highly reved Spitfire engine can pull. Translation? Far more carburetor then engine, and typical lousy fuel mileage and poor lower rpm performance when operating anywhere but on the race track. A single 40 DCOE will perform better. Look at the Weber information for selecting venturi sizes and you will see what I mean.
The notion that you have bad fuel distribution problems running the single DCOE...hogwash. Yes, there is a slight effect, but that is all it is, slight. Look at the oem manifold design for even worse air flow characteristics, or any V8 manifold for that matter. The problem of uneven gasoline distribution to the cylinders from running a single Weber is vastly overblown. >>> Ronny Hortlund <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/22/02 03:37AM >>> I heard from a weber shop that if you have 4 inlets to the engine you have to have 2 weber 40DCOE. But I've seen the weber comparison between 1x45DCOE and 2x40DCOE (just don't remember where I saw it). So what happens if I put a single carb on it, will it run incredible bad? /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
