Hi I have just picked up a 2006 Electra with a Delorto carb fitted is there any info on setting them up / adjustments?

Which carb are you talking? Has it a choke conversion?

Hi guys---------- this might be useful??}--- http://tinytim.forumcircle.com/viewtopic.php?t=2523& -----------

Hi Chalkster. Del orto's were good carbs. Most early Guzzi's, Ducati's and Benelli's had them, so a manual on any of those would have the info. There was a UK company that retailed parts too. Cheers, GWR

I think this is what you are looking for.

Clicking on the links in document brings up some nice colour diagrams and tuning tips I posted this part serpatly so as not to confuse the link just copy and paste from above post. All the best Paul MH

And these are the importers, EUROCARB, based in Reading, Berks }------ http://www.dellorto.co.uk/ -----

Chalkster, your bike is fitted with the Watsonian Squire 'Highway Kit' - as is my bike.
Watsonian sold quite good numbers of them during the lifetime of the Electra X model in the UK.
The carbs are exceptionally reliable and were set up for the sports exhaust / cut down airbox with K&N filter that came as part of the kit.
Watsonians would still have all the data and info on the carbs, it would be worth giving them a call...

HI All thanks for all the replies, I believe it is the watsonian highway kit as the it has the air filter mod, I will give them a call and see what they have, it has also had the sprag clutch removed so Kick start only, and seems difficult to start!! On my previous Electra I fitted the Amal highway kit as it was always easy to kick start, but had a mind of its own and constantly needed readjusting lol
