if i have 45mm dellortos can I choke and jet them back to run on a mild 5K???

Sure

From what i believe you can, but its not really the right way to attack the problem. Infact it can cause more problems for you.

Appart from that, the parts for Dellortos are scarse and VERY expensive.

I got quoted for a sidedraft weber - a replacement choke retails at $40 each and emulsions tubes are $30 each and so on. 4xChokes for twin carbs and 4xEmulsions tubes for twin carbs

Its said that Dellortos are more expensive than Webers, so you can do the maths.

I was recommended twin 40 DCOE's for my hot 5k (if i went down that path). I actually bought twin 1 1/2 SU's yesterday for my 5K. This might be a more affordable option.

 

Have a read of this link below. Its based on webers, but i assume its the same theory.

Nah 45s would be fine just have to be choked/jetted correctly a mate of mines got 45s on a 3k,iv`e got some on my 4k no worries.

i have the dellortos sitting there, and they were off an 18R so it will be over jetted to buggery

You never know pull out the chokes/venturis and have a look and work from there,pretty hard to beat an isolated runner manifold setup for outright power fuel economy on the other hand is a different story :P
