‘The following technical description of the Weber 32/08 TLDE
erburettor should be reed jn conjunction with the more detailed
scription of carburetor principles in Chapter 1
Construction
The Weber TLDE carburettor Isa downdraught, progressive twin

the main carburettor body and the throttle body, prevents oxcoss heat

‘When the ignition is switched on, 9 12voltsolenaid activates the
plunger to withdraw ifromtheidlajet. Once theignitions switchedoft,
fhe solenoid deactivates to block the idle jet. Rurning-on is thus
prevented when the engine is shut down.
“The device is also controled by an electronic control unit (ECU, 50

‘Where the ignition I contrallod by Digiplex (as fs the case with
11600 ce engines), the idle cut-off function is incorporated into the
Digiplex ECU. Generally, a separate cut-off ECU is used for 1400 co

mechanically operated by @ lever and cam attached to the primary
