Dell'ortos

[Marios1300]

Hi all

I have a Fulvia coupe 1972, which has 2 dell'ortos dhlb32 on. I know that normally it should have 35mm.
Is it a problem that it runs with 32mm? Meaning, shall I look for replacement with 35mm (although difficult today find, so in such case it would be solex 35mm, which are easier to get).

Even if it is not a problem that the engine runs with 32mm, would you prefer dell'ortos 32 or solex 35?

Of course if I can find dell'ortos 35mm would be ideal, but not easy...

Thanks
Marios

Any help?

There is no problem if you run the car with DHLB32's. You just will have a few HP less power at 6000 rpm. That is if the combination of venturi and jets is a valid one. If not valid you may harm the engine.

The DHLB35's have venturi's which can be changed. For the 1.3S engine you need the 31mm venturi's and the proper jets.

Personally I prefer the Solexes. When in good condition of course.
