I have a set of 45mm Dells and they need the spindle bearings replaced in them both.I have slowly started to tear them down,one carb at a time and im not a pro when it comes to theses type of things.Is there a secret to getting the shafts out,i didn't want to beat on them if it was not necessary,but that is the only way i can think of to get them out.Also does anybody know of anyone that does rebuild these type of carbs?

u talking about the shafts the butterflys are on??

Yep.

i thought if u take ur linkage and the butterflys out they would comr right out

nope got tap on them very gingerly.

Remove spindle nut,washers,butterflys, then side out spindle bearing and shaft from the linkage side.
At least that the way I remember it, but it's been years.

CB peformance sells a Update kit that changes the vertical discharge tubes to horizantal,claiming a huge difference,has anyone done this update to their carbs and if so how did they perform for you?

i know a lot of people put that update in webers and swear buy it,,, couldn't tell you about dels, but I assume the same? I wanted to get one back when I had my 1641 and single del 45, but cb didnt offer an update kit of the single carb they told me..

i have a set of dual 40's dells and they need rebuilding where are u getting ur rebuild kits from and any info would be appreciated.

CB performance has the parts

there is a guy named ART that you can send them to and he will send them back ready to go
Gary [Turbo Blue] probably knows who i am talking about .I used to know his # but not anymore

I cannot get the shaft out,ive broke the pump lever control arm that connects to the shaft.I didn't brake it by beating on the shaft,but when i was trying to take it off the shaft and it looks like it may be a hard part to find.Luckily i have a set of 40's that i can rob from.I have sprayed it with some lubricant and im going totry again later,but i dont want to bend the shaft by beating on it to hard.

CB has a pars list for Dellorto DLRA
