Re: Carburetors

["Bruce Blair" <bblair@domain.elided>]

As a few other folks have pointed out, the Weber 40s will work fine for a 
streetable 2.0 .

However,  they should be set up close to this:

32 mm chokes, 130 mains,  200 air correction, 50F8 idle, and F9 or F16 
emulsion tubes. Since your 2.0 sounds a little 'warmed up', going down a 
few sizes in air correctors would probably be good to avoid leaning out at 
midrange and about speeds.
