Dellorto 45 jets

[SAF_Capri]

Please help, i need to re-jet my dhla 45 carbs to suit my standard XE engine ...ive phoned specialists but keep getting different answers..

 

so if anyone is running an XE and could say what jets they are running would be great

 

been told i need

 

Air corrector 180

emulsion tube 7772.5 or .7

main jet 142 or 155

idle jet 60

pump jet holder 42 or 45

 

regards, shane

Did none of them mention choke size ??

 

It will make a difference to the jetting, you can't just quote random numbers.

36mm chokes

bump --need to order them tomorrow...

 

currently have in the carbs:

 

Carb 1

Air corrector 170

Emulsion 7772.6

main 180

idle 60

pump 40

 

Carb 2

Air corrector 165

emulsion 7772.5

main 140

idle 62

pump 50

 

 

Are any of these retainable to save on cost?

Sorry, wouldn't like to hazard a guess on jetting dellorto's but I save money buy drilling all mine out if you need to go bigger

give me an hour and i'll go check mine

ok in mine i have

 

air corr. 200

main 165

emul. 7772.5

 

idle 63

holder 7850.9

 

didnt check my pump jets tho, i also have 155 mains and 180 air correctors but am unsure whether these were big enough hence i fitted the 165's and 200's

Reading my lambda values under load - these jets are ok but i may switch back to the smaller ones to see if i can notice a difference

forgot to mention - ive got 38mm chokes and a standard XE and it runs and pulls very well (saw off a honda type R last week )
