Not really a 'set up' question BUT.....I seem to have inherited three Spanish Dellorto's and was simply wondering where they are in the 'pecking order'. I would guess somewhere between genuine Italian and the Jetex etc.....or am I wrong? Are they any good?...opinion would be welcome.........thanks

Nothing wrong with them at all. Obviously need a damn good clean and replace worn parts where necessary. Most parts interchangeable with corresponding Italian made carbs. Try Eurocarb in Reading for any hard to find spares you might need.

Soullad, do you know what parts that aren't interchangeable?

sorry to highjack the thread, Gerry

Gerry, I've swapped bits around for the S2 18m versions plus the 20mm and found no problems. I couldn't comment about the later 22mm ones. I've learnt to never say words like ALL or EVERY etc when dealing with Spanish Lambretta stuff. They could well be "all" completely interchangeable

I believe that like the Indian 22mm ones stamped 'Spaco', the Spanish 22mm ones are stamped 'Areas' or something very similar..............

Thanks for the info you guys, storkfoot got in touch as he is restoring a JET200 and needed a 20mm so hopefullly it will soon be back where it belongs doing what its supposed to do.........Gerry

The castings look virtually identical to Italian ones to me. The float is slightly different but it's still a 5 gram one and the finish on the alloy is slightly shinier for some reason. Thanks again, Gerry
