Enrique,

I, like some other folk who have tried and abandoned Weber DGVs as being
less effective than well-tuned SUs, would be interested in seeing how to
make these carbs work properly.(Yes, some of my customers insist on keeping
them!) Can you please tell us what combination of jets your "Dr. Weber"
ended up installing in yours to make it run so well?

Thank you!
