Customer Reviews

Not a good tuning book for webers
I was very disappointed by this book, as there was no information that could not be gleaned off the internet in 10 minutes, and certainly nothing to enable 'Power tuning' as the title suggests. Even simple areas such as getting the transition stage right are ommitted.

I will be returning my copy as it is not worth having

A good step by step guide to Webbers and Dellortos
Excellent information regarding stripping and rebuilding these carburettors. I felt that sizing the chokes could have been better emphasised by the use of graphs as publicised by Webber. This would have helped with engines of varying capacities and maximum peak power RPMs. Other wise an essential book for any DCOE/DHLA newbies and experts a like.

Use this book with care
This is an excellent book on rebuilding and selecting jets for the standard carbs. However the information does NOT fit the emmissions carbs which are the most common second hand type. If you use the jet selection you will end up with too lean a mixture and can risk burning out your engine.
The section on emulsion tubes also needs development.
