Subject:carburator for a '73 bus
From:Jose Antonio Madriz
Date:Wed, 12 Jul 1995 18:44:55 -0400 (EDT)

Hi all,

My '73 bus is having problems with the current carburator setup. I
bought the bus with an "after market" (as the mechanic calls it)
carburator, different from the original double side setup. Right now,
the bus is having serious carburation problems, it stalls, and dies at
low revs. I was thinking in getting the original setup and try
rebuilding it, but the mechanic suggested me that a Dual Dellorto
single barrel kit might work better...

Any suggestions on this? Has anyone had any experience with this
Dellorto setup? Will I be better off going with an original rebuilt
setup? Any help would be appreciated, i recently acquired the
bus and i'm kind of going in the blind with this since i don't have
much experience.

Thanks in advance!
