Good in depth manual for both carbs - suprised by how much on the SU's as I would have thought a manual on each was easily done but consider it a bonus!

Covers too much ground??
10 Nov 2004
Format:Paperback
Just about any Weber carb is in this book, plus Zenith Strombergs and SU carburetors ... with four or five pages dedicated to each. In other words, a mile wide and an inch deep. But where else can you find this much information between two covers? Just a shame it's published on newsprint paper...

Handy for overhauling the carb but not for tuning it.
21 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has some pretty good photos of the carbs and tells how to take them apart and put them back together but doesn't give a clue about how to tune them or list different size jets that are available or anything useful. There's not much information about how they work to help figure it out either. It's so hard to find any concrete information in this book that you'd think it was written by Nostradamus. I have a lot of experience tuning motorcycle carbs that helped me with my Weber but after I got the pilot jet and the main jet tuned as well as possible the mid-range was still off, it was too rich at slower speeds and too lean at faster speeds, and I couldn't find a way to adjust that.
In a book called The Dellorto Superperformance Tech Book there is a section that talks about adjusting the midrange mixture by drilling holes in the emulsion tube, more holes at the top enriches the mixture at full throttle and less holes at the bottom makes slow speeds leaner. That got me to thinking about adjusting the emulsion tube in my Weber.
After reading through the book several times I highlighted everything that I could find about the emulsion tube and put it all together and it doesn't really say this but by reading between the lines I figured out that the diameter of the upper half determines the mixture at slow speeds and the lower half determines the mixture at faster speeds. Weber only supplies 2 emulsion tubes, the F50 and F66, that are fat at the bottom and thin at the top which is just the opposite of what is needed. I turned down the bottom of the tube in a lathe and built up the upper part by coating it with solder but you'd never figure out how to do that just by reading this book.
That got it working pretty well and it runs much better than the stock carb on my Toyota truck.
