Carburettor air mixture adjustment screw too long?

A carburettor is also a wearing part and sometimes it is simply not enough to clean a carburettor, you need a new one. Especially if you want a bit more power and adjust your engine setup, you usually need a new, bigger carburetor. Below you will find instructions on how to install the SI carburettor.

SI Carburettor for Vespa

Today all new carburettors come from SPACO, even if it says Dell'Orto on it. New SI carburettors, whether from Dell'Orto or Spaco, are always supplied with a long (brass-colored) hexagonal mixture adjustment cap. The exception is our bgm PRO Faster Flow carburettors - but more on that below.

Problem with too long air mixture adjusting screw

For carburettor sumps for engines without separate lubrication, this presents us with a bit of a problem, because:

  • the carburettors no longer fit properly in the swamp
  • if you have somehow managed to get it in, there is no longer a rubber seal on it
  • and it is difficult to get at it

With the mixture adjustment screw too long, it looks like this:

And this is how it should actually look:

Now you could get the idea and simply screw the old, short air mixture screw into the nine carburettor. Unfortunately this does not work, because the threads of the new Lusso carburettors are different. Please do not try to force it, the different thread pitch will destroy the fine thread in the new carburetor and make tuning impossible. Our conversion screw provides a remedy: With our short mixture adjustment screw for slotted screwdrivers you can solve the problem cheaply, easily and quickly.

Details on the optimized 26 SI carburetors

With our carburetor tuning Float chamber cover, nozzle holder and holes professionally edited.

In detail, the hole for the float needle is enlarged to 2,8mm and the guide for the float needle is provided with two additional holes for faster fuel supply.

Important: The sealing surface of the float needle seat is restored with a tool made after drilling.

Fine tuning: The float level is checked and set to 32mm.

The 5,2mm float needle is spring-loaded and helps the float needle to have a longer service life - it has to interrupt the flow of fuel several thousand times an hour and then release it again.

Fast and constant spray supply up to 180 main nozzle

The enlarged valve bore In the float needle seat and through the additional holes in the guide for the float needle, the fuel flows in unhindered. This means that the fuel level in the float chamber remains constant.

So that the fuel can flow sufficiently quickly to the nozzle assembly, the bore from the float chamber to the nozzle assembly is enlarged from 1,2mm to 1,8mm. This diameter is with a 180 Dellorto main jet equate - this nozzle size can also be used if required.

We are currently not aware of any engines that require a main jet in the region around 180. The Fasterflow therefore still offers reserves in this area.

Touring setup with 25HP with main jet up to 160

In current touring engines with approx. 20-25PS, main jets in the range of 135-160 are often used.

Leaning during the acceleration phase or swallowing due to lack of fuel during load changes are a thing of the past with the right nozzle equipment.

25s are the better 26s SI carburettors

On closer inspection you will find that the carburetor marked as 26/26 has an effective bore of 25mm.

SI Faster Flow 041

 

Vespa SI carburettor with a bore of real 26mm are prone to premature, high wear in the area of ​​the slide guide. Once this sensitive area is worn out, the carburetor is unusable.

Due to the small overlap of slide and guide with a 26mm bore, additional air can cheat past the slide in the worn areas of the guide and strongly influence the running smoothness of the engine.

This goes up to the involuntary revving up while idling and noticeable emaciation or lean jerking when accelerating.

Therefore the bgm PRO 26er SI - carburettors are provided with an optimal effective bore of 25mm.
