can anybody tell me what these bolts are for?
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.

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, Woz

i think so too, it wasn't so much choking or backfiring, the engine just got harder and harder to start to the point where it was undependable, and started lacking power.

I had this problem as well, engine was difficult to start (cranked over very slowly) and had crap power and very poor acceleration. Turned out the timing was way too advanced so I would suggest checking this.
Cheers, Adil...
