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. ![]() ![]() |

Good find. Usually you’ll only have 1 air bleed screw adjusted per carb and even then only slightly.
Keep going - you’re on the right path! Also make sure if your carbs are equipped with vacuum ports - they should be sealed. I’ve seen Weber IDF’s with no ports, 1 port per pair of carbs, and 1 port on each barrel. Not sure what dictated the port configurations. Regardless, they need to be sealed, either with plugs or by being connected to the distributor vacuum canister (without leakage) if you’re using vacuum advance. |
