. . . yeah, and Racetep says that too, but, in actual practice, their jetting has still shown too rich evenso. I don't trust any Weber dealer's claims for "correct" jetting on Opel CIH engines . . . they're not the same as BMW fours, most often used as reference!

Only way to be sure is to look . . . always a good practice anyway!
