Spooky Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Just sent a pair of Dellorto's off to get vapor blasted and now I'm preparing to service and rebuild them when I get them back so went to order a Service kit from palmside and realised I have no idea what size needle valves to get. https://palmside.co.nz/collections/dellorto-parts-and-accessories/products/dellorto-dhla-genuine-service-kit-for-2-carbs They're going on a 1600 Kent (Escort 1600 sport), I think it may have a mildly worked cam as it definitely sounds a bit lumpy but not sure for certain. Never done this before so not really sure what I should be aware of in order to get the correct NV size, any help and/or advice would be just swell.

Bling Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I would expect Palmside to be pretty knowledgable on which bits to go for. They are pretty into Escorts. Not saying don't ask here, but more so that when i've been in there they have been helpful. Wasn't for jets, but still. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooky Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 For anyone that might come across this thread in future searching for an answer, I called Palmside and they said either 150 or 170 would be fine, the guy I spoke to said he would go 170. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
