'74 2.0L with Dual Dellorto Carbs
I am sick and tired of jamming myself in the engine compartment with two wrenches to adjust the downlinks when balancing my Dellorto carbs. Are there alternative types of downlinks that are easier to adjust? Picture below. Parts in question are marked with red arrows. I am fully aware there are better linkage options out there than the CB Performance Hex Bar, but that is what I have and am staying with it for the present time. Any input appreciated - Osnabruck914 ![]() |

Rhodyguy - Yes, the downlink adjusters are at the rear of the carbs. That puts them just under the the front edge of the trunk. Have to actually get my head down inside the compartment to see and manipulate my two wrenches when adjusting. Terrible when the engine is at temperature.
Superhawk - The quick release balls look very interesting. I might experiment. Thanks for the link. To Others - I have relatively no desire to switch to FI, as these Dellortos run like champs; way better than my experience with Webers. Osnabruck914 |

Superhawk - The quick release balls look very interesting. I might experiment. Thanks for the link. As was noted - the link I provided was just a heads up. There are proper 5mm versions out there in addition to those wonky SAE sizes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them in both RH and LH threads so I assume you can only do 1 end but maybe with some searching they are out there?
