3C carb service

[Seddon Atkinson]

My 1973 3C has been off the road for a decade or so. I'm cleaning the carbs as part of the work to get it back on. Motalia (UK) sell a seal kit labelled A59, does anyone know if this is the correct one

It might make sense to send your carbs to Ducati Paddy who is a Dellorto specialist.

+1 for paddy, parts-advice etc

You need a kit for Dell'Orto PHF 32mm.
Shop around.
Eurocarb is 15.62 a set, Paddy is 16.50 a set, Motalia is 23.90.

If you don't know your way around those carbs, ask Paddy.

Paul, thanks for this, I'll look at them both

Go to Paddy - "Support those who support us".

The last time I tried this there were a bunch of tiny O rings that were slightly different sizes and picking the right one for the right spot wasn't easy, eg they all came in the same plastic bag. It would be a no-brainer to use someone who does it all the time and knows them backward and forwards, Mark M comes to mind in Oz. Paddy in Pommyland.

 

[Gerald]

Do one carb at a time, removing the O rings from respective locations and make notes of where removed.
The other carb(s) can be used as reference if step one leads to head scratching, perhaps starting the job and delaying reassembly for some time.

Maybe this will help. I feel sure Paddy (or someone else) will correct me if I've got any wrong ...

 

[Seddon Atkinson]

That's great. Thanks

Paul its hard enough trying to be competitive without you misquoting prices. I charge £16.50 for a PHF gasket set. Eurocarb charge £18.74 and my postage is way cheaper as well.

If people look at my Tech info page there is a picture of what o rings go where as well.

I'm sorry Paddy for being being misleading. I quoted the prices on the websites, yours include tax, the £ 15.62 at Eurocarb does not, I should have been careful.

I've always had excellent, fast and helpful service from you.

Another thumbs up for Paddy. This is what mine came back like after a full resto. The bike now runs like a dream (Also, with new inlet stubs from Keith).
