I did a trade with a dude from CA... He sent me set of triple webbers and manifold. Only downside is that THIS IS NOT MATCHING TRIPLET :mad::mad:

Is it anyway possible to run with this setup or should i just resell these as matching pair + one..?? :cry:

All of them are 40mm.

Edit: dont mind about that booklet LOL it came with the package!

Looks like a mash-up of the old and new style DCOE. This won't work (well) because of a few design changes, notably the different pitch and taper of the idle screws. I'm sure there are other minute differences that will make setting the carbs up properly a major headache.

Get a matching set.


Some junkers near you @ low price: Three 40 Dcoe 18 26 45 for Spares or Repair | eBay

NOTE THE 18 NEEDS A THROTTLE SHAFT IT COULD BE TOAST.... I did this fix once. Not too bad to do. You may be able to scavenge the parts from the others.

New seals would be needed.

I might be able to help you. I have several vintage 40DCOE-18s 'spare'.

One of them might be a close enough match to the two you have. Tell me what the individual numbers on the covers are ( the 'No' on the pad underneath the 'Tipo' line ) and I'll see if I've got one that's near.

OK, I managed to find my box of used carbs, and I selected a single 40DCOE-18 that might be a good candidate.

The manufacturing date is a little later than yours ( mine is no.27752 ) so it's not really a perfect match. However, theoretically any early 40DCOE-18 should match up with another early 40DCOE-18 as far as circuits and internals etc, so it should work.

I'm away in Japan for a couple of weeks from tomorrow, so can't really do anything about this until I come back. Hope you can wait....
