    Thanks Toby, et.al. for the comments. The actuator when activated only opens the throttle plates a slight amount, I guess enough to provide fuel to counter-act a sudden load. Take it off, and I suspect we have a 38/38 with a manual choke. So...after a couple of hours of work on a Saturday morning, I guess we will know how well this thing works. The '76 BMW is relatively stock, with the exception of a Tii exhaust manifold and exhaust system, stock intake with 32 mm ports bored out to 38 mm and ported to match the cylinder head. Emission equipment has be removed entirely. All cylinders have compression within spec, valves properly adjusted, timing perfectly set, etc. Many of the other 2002 drivers in the DFW area here that I run with are using 38/38s on relatively stock cars with very good results (performance and economy). Believe me, I certainly do not want to open the 32/36 versus 3/38 debate - there is already more than enough viewpoints written on the subject (in fact it was those views and comments which motivated me to try this bloody thing). I will report on my findings! Best - Tom

    Thanks Toby Good info on Weber models. I am attaching pictures to help with understanding what a 38 DPS 100 is. This is not progressive, but synchronous operation. I re-jetted the carb tonight as follows: Mains 155 to 135 (will also try 140s) A/C 155 to 175 Idles kept at 55 (will also try 50s) E-tubes F80 to F50 It appeared to be setup for a larger engine displacement (quite rich). I'm all ears if anyone has a better jetting setup to recommend. 1. Bowl End 2. Underside showing vacuum actuator for throttle 3. Top Left showing vacuum actuator. The adjusting screw meters the amount of vacuum needed to actuate the throttle actuator. I now believe that this works to kick open the throttles a bit, just enough to give fuel to overcome conditions where high manifold vacuum occurs i.e. on deceleration or say on low rpm loading (crawling along) to avoid stalling out. 4. Throttle rod end - also comes with a nice cover 5. Manual choke setup 6. And here is my '76 2002 that the carb is going in...so out comes the 32/36. C.D. eat your heart out... Tom

    Thanks C.D. and Bob, I very, much appreciate the quick responses. I had previous located the specs (jetting, venturi, pumps etc) but had not seen the nice diagram provided by C.D.. The DPS is not to be found there either that I can see. This thing looks just like a 38 DGMS, except for jetting and the additional vacuum throttle actuator which I assume under low rpm and sudden load like an A/C compressor kicking in would respond with a tug on the throttle. It's NOS and from Bologna....I am going to re-jet it for the 2002 using the jetting starting point for my stock '76 with Tii exhaust manifold and give it a go. I will report my findings. Best, Tom

    PICTURES ADDED - SEE BELOW Hi all Does anyone on the FAQ know the differences between the Weber 38 DG_S model and the Weber 38 DPS 100 model? What is the purpose of the additional vacuum operated throttle actuator? I can't find any amount of information anywhere on this model carb. Thanks in advance! Tom

    Hi Tom, and thanks for quickly clarifying the availability of the part. That was probably me that ordered the part. I received a message that, I thought came from the FAQ, that the were NLA. Anyway, everyone else, please disregard the earlier message, I was wrong about the status of the part! Best, Tom
