Carbs,
Best drivability are Dellortos 36mm for your engine. Next would be Webers, Italian, Spain, avoid all else unless you have to. These will be 40mm 44 and 48 are to big. BTW, them Germans being crafty bastards happened to us carbs, on some of the European 914s. And I am not talking 914-6s I am talking -4s Some times you can find these also. I would also not shy away from the single barrel dual carb units on a basic 1.7L build. Used a lot in the VW crowd, and a re a good little carb if your not looking for big numbers. Here is a set of Redline Weber single carbs, $419 not sure of quality And a good article on understanding VW carbs. And Ebay Dell 36mm complete kit, there about, you will also need a fuel pump. I like the CB Performance Rotaries. |
