my mate's got a TA22 1600GT twin carbs, solex i think and they are giving him grief needing setting up regualy,goin out of balance, hes been looking at twin DCOE's but some 1 has told him he needs 2x38DGAS on adapter manifolds from Oz. that dosent sound right to me i had a single 38DGAS on an RS2000 surely his don't need 2 ! is there a tried n tested carb swap or an obvious fault with the standard set up that any 1 can advise?

No, no, no, he needs twin DCOEs. The DGAS is only suitable for the SOHC R series engines on a single mount, which is a popular conversion in the US; you're very unlikely to get a manifold to fit them to a 2T-G, even from Aus.... The Mikunis are usually ultra-reliable, but after 38 years may well need a full rebuild, especially if the engine has done more than 150K. But, it could be worth checking the filters as they are sensitive to fuel tank debris. If he decides to do the Weber swap, please PM me as I'd be interested in the Mikunis.  |

I think the cars only done 80k but its been stood a few years until this year. he's convinced the carbs are trouble but sounds like the problem could be elsewhere also been asking people who know escorts n cortinas but not toyotas. can't beat infomation from people who know and 2day thats you ! thanks mate.

You're welcome.
At 80K he shouldn't be having any kind of problems, so it's either going to be age-related deterioration, contamination or past tinkering by those who should have left it well alone. ;D

i'd say, if the engine is stock(ish), stick to the mikunis, the choke mechanism on webers is curse word (don't ask me how I know..  ) and if you don't change the engine a lot the harder to find jets and stuff for mikuni's aren't a big problem. I went for webers, because i fiddled with the engine a little bit, so the need of easy to get jets was higher, but now in wintertime i really wish i sticked to the stock mikunis! |

thanks for the advice, this is the ammo i need to get him 2 persevere with std carbs. it is a standard engine by the way.
