Dual Weber IDF 40s, Carb Rookie question... Options

[malcolm2]

Hello everyone. I will preface by saying that this is an engine from a 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

But it is in my VW Bus. Just now getting it moving down the road. Everything is new.

Carbs are new and I am a carb rookie, as well. Bought them from Aircooled.net and had them cleaned and set-up for the bus. My 914 has L-Jet FI, this group has taught me enough about that system to be dangerous.

So here is my question for the carb experts. What should the Pump Valve spray look like? It seems erratic and drippy. It kicks in 1st as I open the throttle, not a spray but pore, really. I will say that I see that in all 4.

Pulled the plugs and did a compression check before i adjust the valves.

Plugs were BLACK. Got pix if we have any plug readers in the group.
1-2 were super black and dry.
3-4 were not as black and looked wet

Compression was
1. 100
2. 110
3. 120
4 115

Will adjust the valves again, re-check compression add some low mileage plugs and pull the carbs to verify settings and check for clogged jets and float height.

Might take a day or so, damn real job is calling.
