Hi,
1972 beetle 1600 DP with the PICT 30/31 single carb. We went from dual weber 40 mm to the single to achieve better MPG for my son. the dual webers averaged 20 mpg... I am assuming that the single will get him to the high 20's....of course depends on his foot... new motor btw, reputable builder..The heads are worked a bit to reduce the compression ratio...long motor life was his rational. Is that an achievable goal. 25-30 mpg?? Rich |
