my twin dellortos started running poorly recently, so i pulled them off and put the standard carby back on, upon removing i noticed 2 screws are missing from one carby, but are present on the other, just wondering what purpose they serve?



on the first carby (from left), just above the second trumpet, there are 2 screws, both with flat heads.

Off topic at first glance it looks like you weren't wearing pants when you took that pic [:I] and you really like carbies.. [88]

LOL!!! and hes definitely not jewish!!

Is this meant to be some kind of puzzle?

Which 2 screws missing from where?

Do you mean these two on the side of the float bowl?

yep!!

They were originally Alfa carbs. The screws were used to hold an idle solonoid on the Alfas. Definately not the cause of your problems.

If they're Gdub's old carbs they shouldn't need much of a tune, think your problem may be elsewhere,
