1. FEATURES

Twin choke downdraft with 36-40-45 mm diameter barrels. Interchangeable chokes from 28 to 38 mm. Butterfly throttle valves. Constant-level float chamber with double float. Starting device with independent circuit. Idle circuit with centrally placed jets and Venturis supplied from the main jets; mixture adjustment screws with means for sealing them so as to make them tamper-proof. Main circuit with centrally placed jets and emulsion tubes. Accelerator pump with mechanically-operated diaphragm with single inlet valve and two delivery valves upstream from the jets. By-pass screw in each barrel to equalize the air flow to the throttle valves in the idle position. Special design for use on turbocharged engines with pressurized (blown) carburettor.

2. OPERATION

2.1 - Fuel Supply Fuel arrives at the fuel inlet (15) through the filter (16) and reaches the seat (19) where the needle (20), anchored to the float (21), adjusts the flow of fuel into the chamber thus ensuring a constant level of fuel. The float chamber is vented through the hole (4). Any excess fuel sent by the pump to the carburettor is returned to the fuel tank by the air corrector jet (17) of the fuel inlet (18). 2.2 - Starting When the starting throttle (7) is completely open, the fuel, metered by the jet (11), passes into the emulsion tube (10) where it is mixed with the air coming from the passage (3) and is then made to pass through passage (5). Through the two holes (9), the mixture thus formed arrives in chamber (8) where it is further mixed with air coming from passages (22). It is then distributed into the two channels (12) which reach the main barrels (14) downstream from the throttle valves (13). When the valve is partly open, i.e. when it is desirable to have a leaner mixture, the fuel is further mixed with air coming from the hole (6) which is connected with the valve chamber (1) which, in turn, is connected to the atmosphere through hole (2). When the starting valve (7) is closed the passage between the barrels and the starting device is also closed. In addition, the separator (23) will close off the two barrels (14). 2.3 - Idling The fuel which arrives from the float chamber (34) by way of the main jets (36) reaches the idling key (33) through passage (35); it is here mixed with air coming from the air corrector jet (25) and, through channels (24) and (27), reaches the adjustment screw (32). Properly metered, it arrives in the main barrels (14) downstream from the throttle valves (13). With the coupling (50) connected to a vacuum meter it is possible to measure, through channel (51) and the hole (49), the pressure in the barrels (14) with the throttle valve (13) in the idling position and consequently to equalize the air flow by turning the by-pass screw (29) which controls hole (30). The depression advance take-off is made through the calibrated hole (31) which is connected with the coupling (28). The screw (26) adjusts the opening of the throttles in the idling position.

2.4 - Progression On first opening the throttle valve (13), that is, in passing from idle to top speed, the mixture will also reach the barrels (14) through the progression holes (48). 2.5 - Acceleration When the throttle valves (13) are opened, the lever (46) fastened to the spindle (47), pushes the pump lever (42) by means of the rod (45) and the spring (44). The pump lever operates directly on the diaphragm (40) against the action of the spring (39). The movement of the diaphragm causes fuel to be sent to the main barrels (1 4) through the corresponding valves (38) and the throttle valves (13) are closed, the diaphragm (40) returns to its original position under the action of the spring (39) and it will once again draw fuel from the float chamber (34) through the valve (41). The delivery of the pump can be adjusted by turning the nut (43). 2.6 - Full Throttle Running When the throttle valves (13) are fully open, the fuel arriving from the float chamber (34) and calibrated by the jets (36) enters the wells (56) and is mixed with the air metered by the air corrector jet (54). The mixture thus formed passes through the centering inlet (53) where it is further mixed with the air taken in through the main carburettor inlet, arrives in the Venturis (55) and, subsequently, reaches the engine through the main barrels (14). 3. ADJUSTMENT

3.1 - Idling Any idling speed adjustment may only be carried out if it is possible to use an appropriate CO meter to measure engine emissions. Only under these conditions is it possible to break the seals and subsequently to carry out the required adjustments to obtain a correct idling speed. The bypass screws (c) on the carburettor must be completely closed while the mixture adjustment screws must be opened through 5 turns from their completely closed position. Any adjustment must always be made with a hot engine and the throttle screws (a) turned until the required rpms are reached. To equalize the airflow in the two barrels, please consult the instructions Carburettor Synchronisation and Idle Adjustment. Now proceed to obtain an engine operation which is as smooth as possible by turning the mixture screws (b), while still keeping within the prescribed values for engine emissions. Bear in mind that the percentage of CO is increased when the screw is turned up whereas it is decreased when it is turned down. If a CO meter is not available it is only possible to operate on the throttle adjustment screw (a) so as to obtain the best idling speed. 3.2 - Accelerator Pump The adjustment of the accelerator pump must be carried out by placing the carburettor on the bracket with its gasket in place, connecting it up to the fuel tank so that fuel is supplied properly. Put the two 10 cc graduated measuring tubes under the support drain pipes so that all the fuel that is pumped is collected. Open and close the throttle completely 20 times, with a few seconds break in between, and check that the volume of fuel collected in the two tubes is identical and corresponds to the specifications. Should this not be the case, the delivery of the pump should be adjusted by turning the adjustment nut on the pump control rod, bearing in mind that to increase the delivery of the pump it will be necessary to turn the nut down, while to decrease it, the nut will have to be turned up. At this point repeat the checking operation until the exact adjustment is reached.

3.3 - Float level Check that the weight of the float corresponds to specification as shown on its body. Check also that it is not damaged and that it rotates freely on its pins. Hold the lid in the vertical position so that the float arm is in light contact with the needle. In this position check that the two half-floats are at the specified height in relation to the float chamber lid with the gasket fitted in the normal position.
