I think I've found the float level settings for every other car except a mini!

Does anyone have any info or links?

Car goes sweet up to 4000 rpm and then seems to get starved of fuel... and so far I've just used a generic setting from "How to Powertune Webers", so want something a bit more accurate to hopefully solve this.

PS Its a spiced up little 1098

Thankssss!

The number in that Weber book for a DCOE is correct, so is the one it gives for the Dellorto DHLA.

You mean the one with the "how to set the float level" area, not a specific car at the back of the book?
Was 12mm closed (standard) and 26mm open. Was far longer stroke than I had set up originally when it ran well is all. (I don't know what I ran before, I can't find the info!)

It is 7.5mm (gasket vertical) and 15mm droop (gasket horizontal) for a Weber DCOE.

Yep got that but 12-26mm for the plastic floats next page.
I've seen various listings for different engines having different float levels is all

does it have a plastic float? most Webers here have brass ones.
My Dellorto has plastic though.
