Would anyone know the size of the jet used for the fuel mixture in a Weber 32/36 DFV carb? Mechanic working on my car cannot get the fuel mixture straightened out (too rich) and has suggested I order 3 progressively smaller jets for him to try. This doesn't sound too difficult, but I don't know the size I am starting with. If no one on the board knows, any suggestions on where I can find this info?
I know a single carb is not the ideal set up, but it's what I own at present. Thanks in advance for the help. |

I've always wondered why the single carb has bad reviews?
VW used a single center carb for what, 30 years or more? KT This post has been edited by Trekkor: Aug 4 2013, 12:14 AM |

I've always wondered why the single carb has bad reviews? VW used a single center carb for what, 30 years or more? Yes, on a Type 1 they did. But the Type 4 layout is much wider and with the low runners going to each cylinder, fuel that is mixed in the center of the engine then has to travel the length of that whole runner, then make an almost 180 degree bend before entering the cylinder. The Type 1 carb runners are much shorter, because of the engine's smaller physical size and are heated (to help keep the fuel atomized in the runner). Even then, not an ideal setup. Hence why VW pushed fuel injection so much when they moved to the Type 4. |
