This book is the distillation of many years' experience of working with Weber carburetors. Unquestionably preminent in their field, these celebrated carburetors have been fitted to some of the most exciting and memorable cars and have been more widely used by tuners and modifiers, both for road and competition machines, that any alternative.

The mysteries of why and how they work so well and the practicalities of getting the best from them in any application are explained at length.

Light is also shed on the complex interrelationship between the carburetor, the engine, and the other ancillary components.

The author's enthusiasm for this subject comes through, too, so this is no dull textbook: theory is always closely related to actual practical considerations.

Setting the carburetor to suit a particular engine, fault-finding on an existing installation, and the maintenance and repair of older carburetors are all topics which receive detailed attention.
