I just installed a pair of twin dellortos on my 1400, and supprise supprise it doesnt magically run perfect lol.

They were off a 1400 aswell so i thought they would be close, but i guess its the idle and mixtures that are out at the moment.

What could this usually cost as i have no idea what im doing.

As a rough guide, I was priced at $350.00 for a session that would involve a balance and timing check and tune, if it became apparent that the jetting would need to be altered they would go ahead with the changes and charge on a time basis. You obviously pay for the new alterations (jets chokes etc).

So I guess I wasn't expecting much change from $500 for a decent session and that price above was the best I could get.

I'm not sure how this price compares with other dyno places. But in all honesty you may be a little hard pressed to find someone, better off asking JTS or Stewart Wilkins or A.T.E Race engines.

i can tune/rejet to run good if the carbs are good, where u live

If you want a dellorto/weber tuning book I can email to you, you will still need jets etc to tune but it will help you understand how they work..

PM me an email addy if you are interested.

In the past i have been able to read how to's but when it comes to going to the car and doing it i just cant get my head around it.

I live in sans souci 20min south of the airport, i dunno if they are "good"
they do look used though.

I have had more experience with Weber's rather than Dellorto's, but the way they operate is extremely similar. I live very local to you, drop me a PM if you would like a hand..
cheers
