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.

So, I am lazy and I hate getting up and down 50 times.

Jack up car
Lower car so one wheel is resting on a 6x6
Put car in 5th

Rotate the wheel like reverse
This spins the motor forward

A valve on each side of the motor will be closed (bottom of the lobe) at the same time.
The lobe that is shared will always have one valve open and one closed.

Hard to explain but you can adjust one valve on both opposite sides of the motor at the same time.

Let me find his thread.

I have done it 4 times.... even getting up and down only four times. All valves allow the swivel for to spin but give no rocker movement.... all 8 are on zero lash.

Pretty much did the cap'n crusty method.

I do not feel like these valves are out of adjustment. What else can you suggest to determine if they are out of adjustment.

I did take a video of each cylinder.... I am attempting to meld the 4 videos together. Maybe it will work, maybe not. If not I will post 1 video as all four result in the same thing..... swivel foot spins with the valves closed. Glad to try something else.
