I have just put 40 Dells on my Type 1 1916
60 idles, 140 mains and 34 vents
Cant remember airs or emulsions - will look

"My" opinion is a 2L needs about that in vents

Mains 4.1ish - 4.2ish times vent size

Webers have idles 1.25 body size
That formulea doesnt worl for Dells

The John Conno;;y article at AC Net http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles/jetting.htm
is based on Webers - but VERY good

Futue te ipsum!!!

from what i've read your combination seems the most used ,60 idle 140 main 180 air though maybe the 175's i've got will do will ,34 vents and 9164.2 e tubes,have been running it on the bench and it sounds great,extractors into a 2inch hotdog but way too loud for the road,i see your in sydney, do you know anywhere to get dellorto jets vents etc thanks mike
