Carb Hook up Help... DMSA carb on '72.. Need Help

Post by johnk63366 »

Hi All... Man, I'm confused and really could use some help. I've searched everywhere and can't find how to hook up a DMSA carb to a '72 Spider, 1600cc.

I purchased the car without a carb so I have nothing to draw back on, so I decided to buy a DMSA carb, which I've heard would be a better alternative than the stock carb for the '72.

Just completed a small rebuild on the carb and now I need help getting it on the engine. Hopefully the attached pictures can help figure out my delema.

Where do all the hoses connect? and how do I connect the throttle cable. There are 3 large ports (assuming on is gas in and gas return) what's the other? 2 small ports with an adjustment screw between them. What are these for?
Large port towards the back near throttle cable. Where does this go?

For the throttle cable, how does it hook up to the carb? the carb pull goes side to side while the cable comes out and moves front to back. How do these connect up, because they are at a 90 degree angle from each other.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are the pics,,

Wow i cant see a thing in your pictures. Please put a description on what to do. I imagine there is a linkage to by for the throttle cable, but what is it and where can i get it..a hose description would help a lot. Thanks.

sorry i was pressed for time
the first 2 pics are of the throttle linkage

the third pic-upper left hose fuel return under that fuel supply-under that near the bottom goes to the air filtter
on the drivers side under the ele shutoff valve on the left goes to the charcoal canister-the right one gets pluged


i couldnt pull the air filtter off easy so thats the pic i got

and a sideways shot of the firewall IS confusing.joe


more pics tomorrow
