Hi all-
A fellow co-worker here has a Lotus Super Seven with a "built" motor, Cosworth 
head, etc. He runs two Delorto carbs on his motor (he gets approx. 170hp out of 
this setup) and recommended using only one of these carbs on a stock 1500cc 
Spitfire motor. I haven't heard anybody on this list ever talk about Delorto 
carbs, are they similar to Webers? He told me his supplier in Santa Barbara, 
CA, recommended Delorto carbs for street use. He also mentioned that these 
units have no choke, but the accelerator pump supplies fuel for starting, you 
just warm it up with your right foot!
Anybody have any experience with these carbs?
Thanks in advance!
