I put my single 38DCOE on my J15 engine today and fired it up. I purchased new jets, sized based on website recommendations. Idles ok but has the infamous bog when I hit the accelerator. A look onlin
I'll be watching this thread. Pierce Manifolds has hardware kits for weber applications, though the J engine kit is for a DGV. Might be worthwhile looking into MG hardware kits for DCOE since the J
Ok, let me correct my previous statement... There is such a thing as a "pump jet" and it is easily replaced. The tuning parameters I found online were for dual DCOE carbs on an inline 4. Since I have
I am interested in this one too. I have a L16(? 1600cc OHC) coming with a single 40DCOE151 side-draft that is probably full of OLD gas and will need a good cleaning. Pulling some of the tubes out I f
I'd recommend checking out some of the articles on the Dime Quarterly. Though this article is down-draft related, it has some good carb info... http://www.dimequarterly.tierranet.com/articles/tech_ca

Beg to differ, all MGAs which used the BMC 'B' engine, 1500, 1600, 1622, and twin cam versions, 1956 - 1962 used two SU H4s. Worked on lots of them, raced one in FP. Having said that, there were aft
I should have qualified my answer and confined it to Weber setups not SU setups as you are correct about them - most Brit cars used dual SU setups. If you do a search on http://www2.mgcars.org.uk/cgi
Mike -- you overlooked the big reason for a single DCOE on a MG... 5 port cylinder heads! Yep, Only two intake ports (siamesed first one feeding cylinders one and two, second port feeding three and f
Hi Tom, Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that Des Hammil has a book on Webers in addition to the one on SUs. My copy's packed with the other Hammil, Vizard and Bell books. Gotta dig those
