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?

Yep ,72 Super Beetle , and come winter time here where I live , I ducttapped the hood grill intake slots and still had runner frosting . Even had it freeze up to the point it died on me and got a tow home , With exhaust heat cross over working.
