A Bit Up The Creek With Delly 28mm
Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2009 11:24 pm
I've fitted a Dellorto PHBH 28mm carb and MB mainifold to my Casa 210 kit and am struugling with the jetting........
Thought I knew enough etc to do the job but..............
Running through remote foam filter, changed throttle cable, converted to cable choke using existing choke cable and using a KBA clubman type exhaust.
Started with X13 needle (2nd clip down),122 main jet, AV266 atomiser, 52 idle, 40 slide, mixture screw 11/2 turns out. Plug a sooty black but dry
Engine starts easily and revs to about half throttle before 'bogging down'.....so reduced main jet to 120 still bogging down so reduced main to 118, plug still black but engine reving more freely. I have an AV264 atomiser and an X2 needle. Should I change either of these to try and lean the mixture off or am I really too low on main jet already. OR do I have another problem in that I suspect the choke plunger may be slightly raised causing a rich mix (the choke cable has sufficient slack to appear to 'off'.
Also just done about 50 miles to over 5 litres
Any suggestions appreciated
