Customer Reviews

Informative and well written

This book goes beyond being a mere product manual. It is, instead an education into the science of fuel/air intake for the internal combustion engine. Of course, it thoroughly vets its core topic, the Weber/Dellorto carburetor line. You'll learn about the evolution of the Weber carburetor and find out, in depth, how to work on these wonderfully engineered products.

Webers Demystified

I read this book in one day and then began a complete disassembly of my 40DCOE18 carbs the next day. Where the text was a bit unclear, the pictures more than made up for it. I was able to do both carbs in about 4 hours with no surprises and feeling a lot more confident that I'll be able to tune these when my car gets reassembled in about a month. Great book. Realize that, at this stage, I'm not tuning for racing - so take these comments with that perspective.

Great book, but some popular models missing.

The charts and carb info are great. The book explains the concepts and implications of the designs, and has many useful illustrations. For the covered carbs, the disassembly photos are superb. However, it does NOT cover the DFAV, DFEV, ICT, IDF, or DCNF carbs, which are some of the most popular. Steps necessary to determine correct jetting are not covered, which is too bad because there is great detail about the jets and how to change them.

This book really gets the information across well.

This manual has helpfull guides and illustrations which help in rebuilding as well as re-designing your Webers. Charts in this book really helped me to understand and change my set-up for maximum all-around performance.My 2054cc VW Beetle competes with V-8's of all sizes with no "slumps" (0-100mph). An even curve!Thanks Mr. Braden!Matt Portch
