I have a Weber DGV on my Spitfire 1500. Does anyone have any recommendations for jets and air correctors? Right now it's got 140 jets and 170 main air corrector and 160 secondary air corrector. Anyo

My suggestion is to toss that downdraft and its associated convoluted manifold and put in a real sidedraft carb! Sorry, couldn't resist. I've been going through Spitfire withdrawals, I really need t

Let me add to mark's comment. Since the head design of the 8 port head is vastly different from the design of the Weber DCOE side draft, It is much more efficient to have a dual Weber DCOE setup so t

I'm fully aware that this situation isn't great and I'm fully aware of the benefits of dual and single sidedraught carbs. While it's great to say just put a sidedraught weber on...I have to work with

Since you put it "that way" (limited by rules)... Seeing that you have a DGV, I don't think you should need to buy 50 jets. You should do a plug cut with what you have and then go two sizes richer /

Good Point (about the rules, that is). The DGV has similar issues with runner length as does the single DCOE. You might find that because of the much better design of the stock intake manifold that t

One thing that works reasonable well in dyno tuning is to use a oxy/ac torch tip cleaning kit to increase the size of the jets a tad at a time. I've done this with quite good success. The tool is dir

I used jeweler's broaches to do the same thing. They leave a smooth finish on the inside of the jet, which is important, and if you use a size that fits roughly halfway through the jet before reaming
