    Carb jetting firm

    Hello I was wondering if anyone could tell me a good place in the south to have my
    Twin 40 dellorto's set up??(when they're on)!
    I've spoken to "Tom Airey tuning" but they are up past Alton ! JKM don't deal with carbs
    Any help appreciated
    Cheers
    Matt

    We had the same problem when we fitted twin 40s to Sharon's 1.3 Nova. Made some phonecalls and a place called Eurocarb recommended some good jet and emulsion tube sizes over the phone. We booked it in at Regal but they confessed they had no idea and just gave us two rolling road printouts. We set the timing and mixture by ear and got 91BHP and left it at that.
    Maybe try asking Janspeed in Salisbury? They've been about a bit.
    They're there, in their room.

    Yeah I spoke to eurocarb I'm buying a service kit for the dellorto's from them and I've heard this Tom Airey is pretty good with carbs like the carbs are currently jetted for a 1300 tuned engine ! Mine is a 1400,100% standard ! As soon as they are on I'm going to drive up to this Tom Airey and have it all jetted up while I wait ! Alton is closer than Salisbury thanks pal

    I know Tom and can't recommend him enough.

    Not cheap but you pay for the knowledge/experience.

    Tell him you were recomended him by the guys in parts at white rose vauxhall and he might see you the trade discount.
