I've got a 1.7 block, warmed up to a 2.0 with dual weber carbs. The carbs were jetted per Aircooled.Net specs, and they were just rebuilt by a reputable local carb shop.
When I accelerate, I get absolutely no power. I've replaced the distributor, coil, gas lines, gas pump and made sure the carbs are synchronized. Car idles like a champ. I can stomp on the gas and it revs up nicely. As soon as I put load to it (i.e. let off the clutch), the car bogs down and sputters. Any thoughts/ideas? |

I worked with the aircooled.net guys on a beetle...they are cool, they have a datbase, you tell them the motor and the carb, they tell you what works..
I asked them how they got this databse....its from customers that have BTDT and it works... they are really cool about swapping venturis and jets till you get it right... Just a great company... I agree though, if the venturis are to large, or the air,main,or idle jets are wrong...youll never get it... but...make sure the ignition is perfect before you go to far with it... 40mm on a 1.7 ......with 28mm vents, F11 tubes, 200 air, 125 mains and 50 idles. That works on a superbeetle, 1.6 liter... that took trial an error to find, and I worked with aircooled.net... rich |
