Ohan,
DCO is italian abreviation for what essentially means "dual ventruri
horizantal".
E is the specific designation, which IIRC has no significance other than the
DCOE is the most
common of the DCO series type.
The abreviations on other models dont all mean something, later they were just
model designations.
DCO, DCOE and DCOM are all sidedraught twin butterlfy non-synchronous ranging
from 30 to 55mm throttles.
DGV, DGEV and DGAV are all downdraught twin butterfly synchronous ranging from
24 to 40mm throttles.
The "E" in this series means electric strangler, "A" means water, DGV itself is
a manual strangler.
The DGV is part of a very large series of very popular carbs of more models
than will interest you.
The DGES/DGAS are very similar to the DGV carbs except they have gear driven
synchronous throttles.
DCN, DCNF are all downdraught twin butterfly non-synchronous ranging from 36 to
42mm throttles.
IDF and IDA are both downdraughts, the IDF is 2 throttles only, the IDA is 2 or
3 throttles (36 to 55mm throttles).
For more information, purchase the Haynes Weber Carburetor manual.

Does anyone know how to decipher the various series Weber carbs. (DCOE, DGV,
IDF, DCNF,etc)
in particular what DCOE mean?
