FIAT 124 Spider Engine Maintenance + Modification 4.8.1 Weber DFH The DFH was used on early production 1438cc Spiders. It is not a common item on cars imported into the United States. The DFH is operationally similar to the DHSA carburetor fitted on later models. 4.8.2 Weber DHSA The DHSA was used on the 1438 and 1608 motors. Vehicles imported into the United States received the 26/34 DHSA1 and the 28/36 DHSA2. The numbers refer to the primary (26 or 28) and secondary (34 and 36) barrel sizes. Figure 11: DHSA2 Carburetor The DHSA is a progressive two-barrel carburetor with a vacuum operated secondary. This secondary throttle opens when the primary throttle is fully open. This opening is controlled by a diaphragm mounted on the side of the carburetor and linked to the secondary throttle shaft (refer to figure 9 in the previous section). The different DHSA models are directly interchangeable with each other and with the DMS and DMSA carburetors. The DHSA has a mechanically operated choke, meaning that a cable connects the choke plate to a knob. The driver pulls the knob, activating the plate, and restricting airflow into the carburetor. There are two additional small diaphragms that are electrically activated by the position of the clutch. These devices are also attached to fast idle speed controller, electronically linked to the clutch assembly and to a switch on the transmission. When you shift into or out of 3 rd , 4 th , and 5 th gears the controller keeps the engine speed around 1500 RPM. The actual speed at which the controller engages is set by a switch in the engine compartment. 20
FIAT 124 Spider Engine Maintenance + Modification The diagrams on the following pages show the exploded views of the DHSA carburetor. For a description of the operation of the carburetor refer to the section on the DMSA. The DMSA is operationally similar with the exception of the vacuum secondary.
