Dellorto PHVA

Dell’Orto PHVA14

Welcome. This is a “third generation” Tomos carburetor, on US mopeds. It is preceded by two others, the Encarwi A83 on Tomos A3 1974-85, and the Dellorto SHA 14-12P on Tomos A3 1986-91 and A35 1992-06.

Notes

Junction sleeve 233748 on Tomos A55 models contains an air restrictor. Without derestriction, and with the stock catalytic exhaust, the stock jet is too big. Too much unburned fuel and oil are produced. That causes black goo to drip from the exhaust outlet, and soon clogs the catalytic converter. 

With derestriction, the stock jet size #55 becomes correct. The catalytic exhaust outlet stays super clean. No visible smoke is emitted. Only occasional water dribbles out, just like in modern cars.

Intake silencer 23340 on Tomos A55 models does more than just reduce noise. It reflects sound waves in a way that recovers or re-captures the mist of fuel and air that flows outward every down stroke of the piston. Remove the air box and a bigger jet is required. Less torque is produced and some fuel is wasted and gets on the rider’s right leg. Besides the magical shape and volume, the stock air box draws air from inside the frame. That air is at a slightly higher pressure than the moving air outside. Tomos engineers made the A55 engine super efficient in order to meet emissions standards in many countries. In doing that, too much power was produced, so restriction was needed to meet power and speed limits.
