I rebuilt the whole thing with new gaskets, installed a new fuelpump. Set the float height a number of times etc etc etc. Eventually I did start to have a bit of admiration for the weber when they were working but this took many hours fiddling with settings. Got about 400 miles of great use when it started to run badly again. A bit later it decided to stick open and pour petrol down the barrels. Very luckily I did not destroy the engine. Carbs cleaned out again and another few hundred miles of less than perfect running but good enough.
Went to change the brushes on the starter motor (refused to start) and discovered the oil level way too high and petrol in the oil - AGAIN!
That's it they are going. I have a pair of old worn 40mm dellortos but at least I understand them better. And a cagiva elephant twin throttle assembly as its the same as the paso. (need new cables though)
Searching through the topics I see melossi did do a kit but all I need is the inlet stub thing not the carbs as well.
Does anyone know where I can get the inlet stub by itself or is there another ducati part (belel 900ss?) that will do the trick.
