Weber Idle Jets Needed. Please!!



Hi Everybody,

Would any kind souls out there have 4 idle jets for Weber 40 DCOE
carburetors.  I need idle jet F17 size 0.55.   My car will run fine
above 3000 rpms but will not idle.  It starts fine with help from the
choke.  But it dies as soon as the choke is pushed in.  The only thing
keeping the car running is the main fuel circut.

I thought the idle circuit passages were blocked but Gumout proved
otherwise.  While I had it apart I noticed the idle jets were of the
wrong type.  F8 instead of F17, I'm not sure if that makes a difference,
but it is all I can think of.  I was hoping someone else more familiar
with these carbs can tell me what I am missing.

My webers are type DCOE 72/73 for a 2 L Alfa.

Help!  Spring is near and my wife is loosing faith in my abilities.  
Not to mention I am getting fustrated.

Thanks Again,
Ralph DeLauretis
