[QUOTE="dan filipi, post: 177515, member: 54"] A "straight carb" as used here can be defined as a device that only needs air flow to work and almost no moving parts, and from that will produce a near perfect charge for an internal combustion engine. Nothing else needed but air flow. The Weber DFT carb is in no way a straight carb and is not "bolt and go" as led to believe on the forums. Yes it will run but it's not capable of producing the results of [b]a well calibrated DFT[/b]. One thing tried in jetting to make it run right had bad effects elsewhere. but after yrs of trying things we (mostly Joedrum) finally chartered a path that essentially turned the DFT into a highly adjustable straight carb, and have learned what a well calibrated carb is capable of. Dan purchased a 40's era jeep carb reproduction. When we made the right jet move, the carb was dialed in. It took very little experimentation with all that we learned. From here all things are about straight carbs and what it takes to dial them in and how simplistic means best especially up against FI and computers, which are anything but simple. [/QUOTE]
