Have a look to see if they were made in Italy or Spain, that will make a difference to the value Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TriumphV8 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Just back from our trip to Italy me and two TR4 clubmates reported that fuel consumption dropped below 30mpg several times. Add the wonderfull noise and the peformance these carbs give and decide again. If the WEBER do not do that and do not make fun I would envisage a little service and a new setup.

Mark1965TR4aBRG Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Keep the Webers!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
North London Mike Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Both are nice SU do 100% of the job at lower revs, Webers are better at higher revs Webers look the part MPG? Opinions differ, 30+ on SUs, 25'ish on Webers, using the performance. However, if you never go over 3000rpm, then you don't need them Sorry: Original question re value NEW TRIUMPH TR3/TR4 WEBER 40/45 DCOE CARB INLET MANIFOLD & LINKAGE & FITTING KIT ebay £567. So yours less wear/ condition etc However, if they are Italian and possibly 42's ................. Edited October 10, 2016 by North London Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Weber DCOEs have ball bearing supported throttle shafts. My '60s vintage 40s have been on my driver's engine for 115,000 miles over 21 years and show no sign of getting tired. They don't seem to wear out. Once set up they don't go out of adjustment. If they are of Italian vintage I don't think they deduct from the value of the car. I'd rather have them on mine, but I would want to go through them myself if buying one so fitted.

Leno Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I've got SU's and want to change to webers so if you want to change let me know. My SU's do have different needles as engine is reasonably warm! - but I expect your car is not standard if someone has previously put webers on it Len Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I've had (5) sets of triple DCOEs over the last 20+ years, (2) sets NOS, all vintage Italians. I recommend buying used as those I've come across were never altered other than having different jets, etc. fitted and the savings can be considerable, 50%+. Though Porsche downdraft Webers are very expensive DCOEs are still pretty reasonable IMO. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sulzer 12LDA28C Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) I've had 45DCOE x 2 webers on my TR4 since 1990 and they plus some other engine work transformed the somewhat pedestrian performance of a standard car. I still have the SUs somewhere in the garage. Edited October 17, 2016 by Sulzer 12LDA28C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
monty Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I've had 45DCOE x 2 webers on my TR4 since 1990 and they plus some other engine work transformed the somewhat pedestrian performance of a standard car. I still have the SUs somewhere in the garage. Likewise but I think it is mainly the other work rather than the Webers. I reckon mine give me around another 14bhp @ the wheels & a little more torque @ the higher end of things. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
