Hi Guys,
Pretty simple question, I just want to confirm what type of carb this is fitted to my car.
Car is a 56 fitted with a later 40HP engine.
Here is a photo.


Regards
Sam

What does it say on the left side of the fuel bowl on the carb? 28 pict or pict 1?

Hell that's a 1300 not a 40 hp It must have a 30 Pict 1.

A 1300?
Really?

I was told when I bought it that the car had a 40HP fitted. Had just trusted the previous owners description of the motor so I never had checked.

It says PICT1 on the side.

Engine number is H-0151058

In looking at this image:


And comparing that to my car, mine matches seems to match the second. The pipe comes away and towards the rear of the car. It does not sit close.

And this image:


It seems I have a 1500cc 53HP from 66/67?

What does the carb say on it then? 28 Pict? 28 pict 1 or 30 pict 1?

That there is a 28 PICT 1.

The carb reads 30 PICT 1.

Just checked then, my camera is not good enough to get a decent photo, but it clearly reads
VW
Solex
30 PICT 1

Weird.. I can't see the return spring boss on the top, nor does the throttle arm have it from what I can tell.. hence the return spring going to the shroud or whatever. Maybe it is a mix of two.. the tops are interchangeable.

Some of the earliest 30 pict 1 were not set up with the "late style return spring" (I have a bunch of them) the code is on the bowl not the flange... VW 47-1

Seen on the chart here... posted by glutamodo many times.

Good information. All the 30-1's that I have are equipped with the return.. I will have to print that out. Thanks Keith.
