Introduction
Dell'orto set-up made easy with this new specially developed software. No more guesswork, now you can see just what difference each change makes. There has been little new from Dell'orto for many years, the trick is in the correct combination.
You know the problem, "won't get off the line", "bogging" out of corners, "won't rev out", "detonating", "cutting out" and you know what you need to do. But is it jet up, jet down, lift, lower or change the needle or tube? Now you can see what your "gut feeling" is going to do to the jetting, before hitting the track.
With each change your knowledge will improve, saving each setup with comments will soon build up a massive resource of what changes did, at what track with what weather conditions.
During its development, this software has helped only a few people. Such as the European Champion, two French Champions and Winner and Runner Up at the World Superkart Championship at Laguna Seca California last year. Fastest lap too.
Summary
Calculates the amount of fuel flowing through the carburettor as the throttle is opened and producs a graph showing the information.
You can select a needle from the built in database, enter the dimensions from your own needles or add new needles to the database. The program uses the dimensions of the needle and the tube diameter, 'T' position and main jet size to work out the flow of fuel into the engine at 1% intervals of the throttle position. The fuel flow is measured in jet sizes, so if for example the graph shows that at 95% throttle the fuel flow is 202 this is equivalent to the amount of fuel that can flow through a 202 main jet. The program provides both a graph of the results which can be printed out and a table of the fuel flow at 10% intervals.
You can also add comments to each setup so you know exactly where you used the particular setup and what happened. Each setup can be saved so you can compare setups at a later date. The program also remembers the setups that you had opened when you closed the program and loads them when you open the program if you so wish.
