I have been offered some cheap dellorto's in good nick. But are dellorto's and weber dcoe's the same? Do thay work well on a cvh?

Any help or into its much appreciated

Cheers guys

They are a similar carb, not a bad carb at all (some people reckon fuel economy is actually better than a weber), but not sure how easy to come by spares are to come by. No reason why they wont work on a CVH with the right jets etc for your engine and its state of tune.

Cool dude cheers I may go for them. Some bloke had them on a 205 rally car. And is selling them for 80 euros lol

Hi mate, I had dellortos on my old cavalier and they were a nightmare, every week I was setting them up untill my boss noticed I was always playing with them and he then told me he was an ex rally car tuner when they used these carbs and he said the dellortos were really only designed for race use and they need constant setting up to keep running right whereas the Webers can be set up a lot less often. Only my own experience mind

sridgett

Yo dude,Ohh right, i would prefer webers but these are only 80 euros though and there in good nick. So do you think there woth it for that price ?

Cheers mate

If it's not a daily driver than go for it mate, my cavalier was my only car at the time which was a bit silly looking back on it lol

sridgett

Naa this is for my mk2 fiesta, that's not my daily, just a bit of fun. So I may go for them then?! Some Cav's are cool, what mk was it?

gcfcos

Oh yeah for ÂŁ80 for your fun toy id do it, just try and get a re furb kit and re furb them before u try and run them. It was a mk3 cavalier gsi lookalike with lotus Carlton front bumper and 2.0 8valve on twin 40 dellortos. Sounded the bollox but used loads of fuel and was slower than all the 2.0sri ones I had back in the day

sridgett

Ok will do dude Wow so your a vauxhall bloke too? Did you decide what you was doing with your cossy? As did you have a idea to go for a rat, base model, sleeper idea?

gcfcos

Yeah I'm into all makes and models mate not just fords, I've had a few mk2 Astra gtes which is one of my favourite cars of all time. I'm not keen on vw, Audi (apart from 80s Quattro) or skodas but pretty much like anything else lol. Decided just to lock the Cossie away for now untill I decide what to do with it. Prob decided against the rat look but it would have Been a laugh

sridgett

Same here mate i love all cars too, even really old stuff. Old Vauxhall's are cool, when we was in the UK my parents had a Colton and that was lovley car. I also don't Iike vdubs and i hate audi's with a passion. Have you got a pic of your cossy cos I don't think i have ever seen it??!! I am thinking about doing the same with my escort rs2000 as it cough fire. Bit heart broken with it so I could do with a break from it for a bit, that will give me a chance to crack on with my fiesta.

gcfcos

Yeah I've had a 1984 Vauxhall Carlton and a ex traffic police 3.0 24v Vauxhall senator. I've had all the cavaliers and novas and even had a chevette also had mk1 and 2 astras. Oh and once had a
Vauxhall Belmont lol.

gcfcos

The old banger

sridgett

Wow a police senator, that sounds like fun mate. And I have never hurd of a vauxhall Belmont lol. The cosy looks cool mate, what is wrong with it then?

gcfcos

Vauxhall Belmont just a saloon version of the mk2 Astra, bit like fords version of the Orion I suppose. Yeah senator did good doughnuts lol. Got an a4 paper worth of list to do on the Cossie :-(

sridgett

I bet them Belmonts are rear now?! Has it got rust then mate?

gcfcos

Yeah not many left now mate, and the last one I had we bashed up in the local forest lol :-( no rust on the Cossie, it's never been welded as was stored for a decade when I
Bought it and been waxoyld since new luckily

I cannot for the life of me remember why, but they are indeed better on fuel than Webers. I think Webers will also make a touch more top end but it's really negligible.

sridgett

Haha sounds fun, so mechanical probs with the cossy is it. Well I am picking up the carbs Saturday

Cheers dude, well I am defo going for them, at that price I would be mental to turn them down
