WEBER MODEL DCOE

Fig. B.

3. Turn "out" (counter clock-wise) the idlespeed screw, (Fig. A), on each carburetor,until the tip of the screw is flush with thecasting. Check for binding or sticking ofthe throttle plates. With the idle speedscrew in this position, the throttle platesshould be completely closed in the bores.Correct any misalignment or bindingBEFORE proceeding.

4. Turn "in" (clockwise) the idle speed screw,on each carburetor, until the tip of thescrew just touches the carburetor lever.From this "contact" position, turn each idlespeed screw exactly one (1-) full turn "in"This is your preliminary set point.

9. If idle mixture and idle speed adjustmentsare not required, turn engine off andremove Syncrometer. Replace air filterassemblies and this procedure iscomplete.

IDLE MIXTURE & IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

This "Lean-Best" idle setting procedure can beused to adjust your carburetor in the absence ofan Infrared Exhaust Analyzer. Those with ananalyzercan set idlemixtureto the engine manufacturer's specifications.

10. Ifa tachometer is available, install it prior tostarting the engine. If a tachometer is notavailable, set idle mixture "by ear."

11. Startengine.Besure engine isat operatingtemperature and choke is not engaged.

12. Turn "in" (clockwise) the idle mixturescrew until the engine RPM begins to fluctuate on the tachometer. (If adjusting "byear," until a noticeable change in speed isheard.) (Fig. A)

13. Turn "out" (counter-clockwise) the idlemixture screw slowly, until the engine idlespeed becomes steady. Try to obtain theleannest setting without affecting the idlespeed. If necessary repeat Steps 13 and 14until the best setting is achieved. Repeatthis procedure for each carburetor. Try to maintain a balanced settingbetween all carburetors. EXAMPLE: Eachcarburetor idle mixture screw should bewithin Va turn of each other.

14. Once the idle mixture has been set, finetune the idle speed ifnecessary, to meet theengine manufacturer's specification usingthe idle speed screw. (Fig. A) Try to keepthe adjustment equal on all carburetors.

15. Recheck the carburetor synchronization ifany idle speed adjustment is made andcheck the linkage rod position.

16. Turn the engine off. Remove tachometerand Synchronizer. Replace the air filterassemblies.

WEBER CARBURETOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEThisguide is intended for diagnostic purposes only. Specific procedures and adjustments should be

obtained from factory service manuals or carburetor specifications sheet.

Every Weber carburetor isthoroughly tested at the factory and meets highquality and performancestandards.

Since other engine component problems affect the performance of the carburetor, it is stronglyrecommended to perform the General Engine Checks section of this guide BEFORE making anycarburetor adjustments.

GENERAL ENGINE CHECKS

(A) Loosen the jam nuts and close the airbypass screws on each carburetor(Fig. A)

(B) Each carburetor should be adjustedseparately. Use the Synchrometer todetermine which carburetor barrel produces the lower reading.

(C) Adjust the air bypass screw corresponding with the low reading barreluntil the Syncrometer readingmatches the higher barrel. Once bothbarrels of the carburetor show thesame reading, lock down the jam nuts.(NOTE: On Weber 3 Barrel Carburetors this process must be expanded toadjust the air bypass screws on the 2lowest reading barrels).

(D) Repeat Steps B and C for eachcarburetor.

DUAL WEBER CARB KIT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mount carbs on intake manifolds with the threaded studs, nuts and gaskets supplied.Be careful that carbs are mounted so that the operating arm is facing the back ofthe car onboth sides. Now mount the manifolds on the engine using the gaskets supplied. Use Partnumber 4505-11, Manifold Nut Set, for easier installation of all manifolds.. Be sure that themanifolds do not interfere with the fan housing or any part of the body. This will not allowthe manifolds to seal properly. Any leak can cause poor or uneven idle.2. Attach the fuel hose and "TEE" fitting supplied. The use ofafuel pressure regulatorset to 1 1/2 to 2 lbs is recommended. Note: The regulator must be Mounted before the"TEE".

4. Mount the throttle linkage per instructions supplied with the linkage kit used. A"TayCo" Cross Bar linkage kit for your carb kit is recommended for optimum performance.4. Each engine must bejetted individually to meet its own characteristics. Before starting any rejetting, the valves must be properly adjusted and the timing set correctly. Incorrecttiming and valve adjustment is the major cause of poor performance, and is impossible to getan engine jetted properly.Form 1088
