"I've heard that the Weber 45 DCOE is an excellent carb, once you get
it tuned right, but that it's a little much for a daily-driven
street engine."
I have had a 45DCOE on my MGB for over a year and love it. It took me
almost 2 months of fiddling to get the jetting correct. Since then it has
been running like a champ. It really pulls well from about 1500rpm all
the way to 5500rpm. I have the jetting slightly rich as I prefer this to
slightly lean (I tend to run the car very hard). Fuel economy is about
28mpg. The only negative part is that I do not have a heated manifold, so
in winter it takes about 1 mile for the intake manifold to warm up enough
for the carb to work properly.
"How about the 40 DCOE?"
I have never seen any reference to an MGB using a SINGLE DCOE 40. I think
they should only be used in pairs.
