  • In this video I attempt to tune the carburetor on my 1978 Triumph Spitfire. This Spitfire has a Weber 38DGES that the previous owner had installed.

    I love it when an engine seems to start on the first spin of the starter! That's magic! I had a Lancia with a dual carb, and I never got it to start and run as nicely as yours. One of my best friends had a Jeep that could start an run as well as your Triumph. and I always him his skills. You've mastered the art of carb tuning as far as I'm concerned. Well done!

    Good video. Noticed your in Georgia. I live near the air force base.

    I have a 1500 midget with a 32/36 dgev and need to do this for myself. It's running rich. Occasionally pings at speed, but not when you step on the gas.

      Could be your timing as well. Both just as important as a good carb tuning :)

    any chance you can do a video showing more of the carb set up as far as running hoses, vac lines, fuel etc... changing the intake and carb from SU with all the emissons crap and trying to delete all that. just havent quite figured out what goes where.. any help is appreciated!

      I’d suggest you join the “Weber Carburetor Support Tips and Tricks” group on Facebook! They’ll be much more helpful than I can be

    Noticed the Cobb plate. I have a 76’ in Acworth. Do you have a way to reach out for messaging?
