dellorto dhla sidedraft - Grimz - 11-10-2016
Hi Guys, anyone know where I can get a carb kit for a dellorto dhla 45 sidedraft.
My Mini came with this setup and would like to leave it like that.
The bakkie used to run really strong with it however due to it being standing for a while
i think it may be clogged up. I managed to start the car the other day and had it running smoothly but yesterday
when I tried starting it not taking properly. when it does eventually start it throws out flames from the carb.
any help would be appreciated

Flames out of the carb is normally an issue with the timing rather than a fueling issue

Okay Thanks Bud, I will have a look the timing.

Badly stretched timing chains, putting the can timing out of whack can also cause this

thanks bud , Im actually thinking of taking the motor out and check everything out properly before I start using it on the road.
