Product Description
Review
Review from Alfa Romeo Owners Club Magazine In the same series as 'How to Power Tune Alfa Romeo Twin-Cam engines', this 128 page Veloce book on the DCOE and DHLA carburettors, once so familiar in Alfa engine bays, has now entered a third edition and this time in full colour. New illustrations have been added to this popular title and the pictures and diagrams are clear and succinctly labelled. The content covers strip down and inspection, rebuild, manifold preparation and fitting. There are also chapters on air filters and ram tubes, fuel and octane ratings, identifying and choosing components, testing, set-up and problem solving. Everything you might want to know is here in easily digestible form, though this book is inevitably 'more reference than read'. Read this book and you should be able to work on your sidedraught Alfa.
Book Description
The most complete DIY reference for owners of the world-renowned side-draft carburetors. Leading automotive how-to author Des Hammill guides readers through the ins and outs of such topics as stripping, rebuilding and choosing the best choke for the engine. Expanded features include updated information on off-road applications and recommended settings for various engines and applications, including the Toyota MR2 and Jaguar XK.

Weber Theory is this books strength, Mar 5 2000
By Paul Zimmerman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Build and Powertune Weber and Dellorto carburetors (Paperback)
I just purchased this book and the Braden book. I felt that the theory portion of this book was outstanding: it even compared the Weber systems to SU carbs in one area - the object was to reinforce there are multiple ways of achieving the same objective. I felt that the section on disassembly/assembly was not quite as strong as the Braden book - but if I ever tune my car for more serious racing - this is the one I'd come back to. Overall - well worth buying.

Only useful for rebuilding, Aug 19 2009
By J. Pihl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Build & Power Tune Weber & Dellorto DCOE & DHLA Carburettors (Paperback)
This book will hardly teach you anything about the theory of operation for the carburetors, but it is useful for rebuilding due to the detailed strip-down and rebuild procedure. There is not a single illustration explaining the principles of what is going on, and the tuning advice is trial-and-error and seat-of-pants based.Methodology for identifying which circuit to tune is not very clear. No mention is made of tuning for power and economy and what tradeoffs to make. Since wideband O2 sensors and data loggers have been available for a few hundred US$ for the last few years, one would expect a recent (2003) book to make use of them, even though they where more expensive at the time of print. Read the carburetor tuning forums at [...] instead.

This review is from: How to Build & Power Tune Weber & Dellorto DCOE & DHLA Carburettors (Paperback)
The book advertised and it's description on Amazon was exactly what was supplied.Helps to know what is advertised is what you get, all my transaction have been the same.
Took a little longer for it to come to Australia, but we are a long way from the shores of USA,
just thought with modern transport it would be a little quicker, maybe it was customs delay?
