Format:Paperback
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

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.

I bought this book as I just bought a car that had a modified Mazda rotary (13B) fitted with a 48 Dell'orto DHLA.
I basically needed to understand the basics of how the carb worked before I could then try and figure how to spend time tuning and diagnosing it. I'm more from a fuel injection/electronic control background so understanding this mechanically complex device needed a bit of research.
This book was a disappointment because it assumes you know how the carbs work. I didn't know and after reading the book, am not that much the wiser.
If you already know how the carbs work, it's probably going to be of use to you, but then you probably don't need a book if you're at that stage in any case!
