I have just about given up on trying to make the car more driveable with the single Weber on my'74 1.8. Never could get it right. If you were going to buy new twin carbs, manifolds, etc what would you buy and from who?
Thanks. Ed |

I've tried the single progressive carbs on two different Type IV engines (1 914 and 1 bus). They were horrible on both for the reasons already mentioned. No amount of tuning will overcome the inherently bad design of trying to send atomized fuel through those long intake runners. Replacing mine with dual 34 ICT carbs was a big improvement but still left the 914 rather gutless compared to the stock FI. I've seen a few people here say they've been happy with their single progressives but IIRC, all lived in the warmest areas of the US. I agree with those saying putting the L-jet back is the best way to go. That's what I'd do unless the cam has been changed.
