The Weber carb on my 88 Paso is a nightmare. The bike hadn't run for a few years and things got gummed up, so a local Ducati performance shop found some parts somewhere and rebuilt it. The bike runs, but anything 0-1/3 throttle was a joke. The shop confessed that they didn't know what to do so I took it to a Ducati dealer in Loveland, but they only made it worse. None of the other Ducati service departments in the Denver Metro area would touch it. Does anyone know of anyone in this area who could tackle this project, or where (anywhere) I could get an intelligent rebuild job on the Weber, or probably better yet, find a complete Mikuni replacement setup? Otherwise, the bike is in great shape so I hate to have it sitting around not running. |

Rant... of course everyone is entitled to his opinions. the DCNF series is very well known to me and I always got them right by simply taking them to a serious weber specialist (2 generations of experience) in my home town in Italy; My own P750 had a complete rebuild and for a while it was OK, unfortunately as soon as it started to be ridden on twisty roads and mountain passes, well.. things changed for the worse. The reason is simple, the Weber cannot work properly with the dynamics involved in a motorcycle, that is it; Ducati got it wrong, tried to fix it, couldnt and went to use a more suitable set up. And in MY personal situation, the Mikuni set up was a blessing and finally I started to enjoy riding the bike as Tamburini intended. |

As angelix stated if you get Mikunis it doesn`t matter if they are from a 600/750 or 900. Also the Yamaha TDM used them. You´ll have to change the jetting accordingly. Regarding the inlet manifolds though you should get some from a 750 engine as the ones from a 900 are slightly longer. Higgy, just wondering. Have you ever had or ridden a Paso with Mikunis ? I won`t say anything positive or negative about the Weber as I didn`t really give it a chance ditching it only little time after getting my bike. But no matter what you can get out of the Weber swapping it for me personally was like the doing the coils wiring mod. After doing it I never thought of this topic again. This and some other mods really made my Paso a low maintainance bike. (compared to some other old Ducs out there that is, obvioulsy not compared to a XT600 or so) If I ever get another Paso I may give it a try. G. PS: STFU doesn`t really belong here I think. |

[/quote] and they got it wrong from the begining; both were perfect on the cars, but on the Paso it simply did not work. [/quote] Sorry Angelix , I have owned a webbered & digiplexed 906 for 6 years now and I have no idea what your talking about, mine goes fine. Nowdays people are screwing power commanders to just about everthing new... to improve the standard performance figures......... nothin's changed |
