Unhappy DCNF's

Hi, I have heard so much good about the DCNF's. 1) being they go back to the begenning. 2) Very relieable. so from that point I bought a used pair. Went to Berg and bought 32mm venturis. volicity stacks. berg air clearners and rejetted per the Weber book for a 2332 type I. **** man I could not get my accelator nozzle to stop dripping. no matter how I adjusted the float level. I even bought the secondary venturies that had been modified by berg. sunk some real money into them. I would not do it again. If you can't find a good deal on a set of 40/44 webers or dells I suggest surfing over to shoptalkforum to the fuel injection link and build one. Since I have them I'll be dammed if I going to let them win. Yours don't sink a pile of money into them, the air cleaners were $140.00 US.

I have two sets of real berg 42's and they work flawless. They do have to be torn down and cleaned once a year and are a bit touchy when they get out of sync. Everyone that I've heard of that did a DIY berg copy has the same drip-drip problem. I've only ever used them on Type 1 engines.

Berg did do more to them than just toss in a check valve and charge more.

i think the drip problem was a result of the fuel bowls boiling over. many people have fixed this by using special heat spacers and preventing heat to get to the carb.

I've never had to use spacers. I have Berg 42's on a T1 and 3.

I do have a buddy who had this problem on a 914-2056cc and it was right from start-up, can't get any colder then that. He drilled a hole in the butterfly and it cured the problem. I don't think I would fix it that way, but it worked for him.
