Asking $1,400
These carbs came off a 911T engine. I’m no carb expert but
I gently “cleaned” them and replaced the all the gaskets that came
in a Zenith kit. Some mods done to the manifold per previous owner
Quote:
“The ports and
lines you see are there to supply manifold vacuum for the power assisted
brakes on the VW camper in which I had the engine installed .. You can just
plug those off .. Tap and install pipe plugs or maybe a 6 or 8-MM bolt ..or
just use rubber caps...
The other plugs you see are for the emission controls those carbs originally
came with .. Their function was to keep the engine from dropping back to
dead idle ( throttle plates closing ) This created a high vacuum situation
where there was fuel being drawn into the cylinders and having no coming in
for O2 for combustion to take place .. That whole system has been removed
and the necessary passages plugged”
I removed the fuel lines and vacuum hoses as they were dry rotted. These should be ready to just bolt on and go once the appropriate adjustments made.

NO air filter or housings included

You will probably have better luck selling them on Early 911S Registry to some one who has a car on which those are correct. Not knocking the price but those type carbs were selling for $300 a few years ago. But then again people used to junk the original Solex 3 barrel carbs now 911 owners are paying up to $6000 for a set as the supply dries up.

Bruce, I have them on the S registry & Pelican.
I was basing my price on evilbay. Most are asking this price for 1 instead of the pair. If you know anyone.....
I’m open to offers. Just had to start a price somewhere.
Thanks looking in.
