A superb book, which details individual types of Weber carburettors, with every detail about: construction, operation, troubleshooting, repair, modifications and conversions.

The easy to read text, is ably supported with excellent diagrams, charts and photographs; many of them from Weber.

Having read this book, I now feel totally confident to tune and maintain the twin DCOE's on my car.

This is an excellent book. Well written and dense with information. There is some excellent fundamental engine physics regarding carburetor function and combustion in the beginning. The section on rebuilds is also great. I highly recommend this book.

This book goes beyond being a mere product manual. It is, instead an education into the science of fuel/air intake for the internal combustion engine. Of course, it thoroughly vets its core topic, the Weber/Dellorto carburetor line. You'll learn about the evolution of the Weber carburetor and find out, in depth, how to work on these wonderfully engineered products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2009

The book deals with many different types of Weber so by definition is not great for specific recommendations. It does have excellent presentation and some real nice pictures of interesting set ups. It contains good reference material for how the various carbs work including the various jet types and circuits. It probably provides as much info as you have a right to expect from a generic book at this price. On an info level if you buy this book you don't need 'Weber Carburettors tuning tips and techniques' by John Passini (or vice versa) both cover very similar ground. Print and pictures are bigger in this book so from that perspective it is easier to read but less convenient for carrying around.

This book tries to cover a lot of ground, and is a decent general reference for Weber carbs. It is not, however, a good source for specific carbs. For example, my DFEV is barely in there at all. Nice book for the shelf, but not much help in the shop.

A thorough overview of the operation and maintenance of Weber carbs. Nicely illustrated and clearly laid out. Easy to follow even if it doesn't cover every particular variation (of which there are many!), the basic principle of operation and main components are the same.
