It's Twins


I picked up a set of Dual 40 DCOE Webers for the Fiesta.  I popped off a couple covers to examine the jetting and venturi sizing.


  • Venturi 28mm
  • Main Jet 115
  • Air Corrector 190
  • Emulsion Tube F11
  • Idle Jet 40 / F6 Air Bleed
The Venturi is sized correctly for my power band, but the emulsion tube is for a cylinder size between 250cc - 325cc which leads me to believe these were tuned for a 1300cc crossflow.  I will have to order some jetting, but can hook it up and tune it on the Fiesta... Later.

These weber carbs are absolutely fascinating. In modern cars you tune by hooking it up to a computer and loading a different map. On these webers, you  swap out brass tubes and turn adjustment screws to dial in the perfect tune for your car.  Very steampunk!
