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 |

QUOTE(Trekkor @ Aug 4 2013, 02:01 AM)  I've always wondered why the single carb has bad reviews? VW used a single center carb for what, 30 years or more? KT I was curious about that myself. My '66 bug had a factory single carb on it's type I engine and seemed to run fine or at least as well as intended. Maybe the key is the way the type VI was originally designed for EFI while the type I was designed for a carb application? I don't know for sure but I don't think VW or Porsche used anything but EFI on the type VI from the factory. Sorry for the posting high-jack... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
