4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but some popular models missing., August 6, 1999
By A Customer
The charts and carb info are great. The book explains the concepts and implications of the designs, and has many useful illustrations. For the covered carbs, the disassembly photos are superb. However, it does NOT cover the DFAV, DFEV, ICT, IDF, or DCNF carbs, which are some of the most popular. Steps necessary to determine correct jetting are not covered, which is too bad because there is great detail about the jets and how to change them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Treatment, July 23, 1999
By A Customer
This is one of two excellent books on carburetors that I have read. The two books have different strengths and I'd recommend getting both. The Aird and Elston book has, in my opinion, a very clear explanation of how each circuit works to atomize the fuel, so that you understand the principles and can make better choices on possible enhancements. I had read pertinent parts of Braden's book many times without understanding the principles very well (probably my fault) and the Aird and Elston book (primarily the first 30-40 pages) brought an "AHA!" to me.

After having posted the Amazon.com review some months ago, I have had several occasions to refer to Braden's book, and felt like I gave it too weak an endorsement. It is an excellent book in its own right, and if you are using Webers, you need this book too. Braden's focus on Webers made it very helpful on many of the specifics that the Aird and Elston book couldn't go into, since the Aird and Elston book covers several different brands of carbs. For example, the 40 IDA is covered very well by Braden. I'd recommend both books for different reasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Webers Demystified, March 5, 2000
By Paul Zimmerman (New Richmond, OH United States) - See all my reviews
I read this book in one day and then began a complete disassembly of my 40DCOE18 carbs the next day. Where the text was a bit unclear, the pictures more than made up for it. I was able to do both carbs in about 4 hours with no surprises and feeling a lot more confident that I'll be able to tune these when my car gets reassembled in about a month. Great book. Realize that, at this stage, I'm not tuning for racing - so take these comments with that perspective.
