Andy,

I'm running a DHLA 40 on my 1275 bugeye, and so far it seems to be working 
great. I followed the jetting/choke suggestions in Vizards book, and also 'how 
to build and power tune Weber and delorto DCOE and dhla Carburetors' (speed pro 
series).  The recommeded components for the DHLA 40 for a 'modified 1098 are as 
follows:

All use emulsion tube 5
choke   32
main jet  145
air cor.  200
pump jet  40
idle jet  55-98
Aux. Vent. 4.5

The book say that the biggest problem that most people have is that they tend 
to 
think that 'bigger is better, and  it is actually much better to go more 
conservative. Sop if any of your components are under spec, I would suggest you 
try it out first before you start modifying any thing.
