[Healeys] webers

[Richard Ewald]

I would just like to add to this.  I have never hung DCOEs on a Healey, but
I did sell them for a couple of years, and helped a bunch of customers with
their set ups.
DCOE are wonderful carbs, once they are set up.
The set up can be a royal bitch.  There are, as I recall, 7 different
calibrated parts that can be changed on a DCOE. Chokes, idle jets, main
jets, air jets, emulsion tubes, and I forget the last two.
So in setting these up you are dealing with an algebra equation with 7
variables.  Not easy.  May not be fun.  Also back in the day (1980s) we had
jets from Eddie Eduardo that were different sizes even though they were
stamped with the same number.  We took to soldiering up the holes and
re-drilling them with a set of jet drills for a consistent idle.
If you have time, money, and are real good at setting up carbs,  Webers are
a wonderful thing.  SUs on the other hand are easy to set up, and cheap.
