Howdy, I have a SB with the standard 1600cc motor in it. I bought it with some weird mexican carb on it. Today I took that carb off and put it on my other 73SB. So im in the market for a new carb. My question is...What is the most performance and quality I can get in a single carb for less than $200? Is there such thing as a quality performance carb for less than $200? Do you have a website with a sweet price on it? Thanks a ton.

Is your enging single port or dual port?
For single port, I've had good luck with new Brosol H30/31 Pict Solex carbs.
They can be bought new for between $85 and $125 from your local VW shop.
They also sell an adaptor plate to go to a dual port, but I don't think that is a good idea, another restriction in the line, and you air cleaner gets offset.

:oops: Ok...this is sad...but here it goes. How can I tell the difference betwen the single port and the dual port :?: Mine looks like this http://fallingsideways.4t.com/Picture%20006.jpg and this http://fallingsideways.4t.com/Picture%20007.jpg. I know your asking.."how the hell does he have leaves in his engine compartment?" Extended deck lid hinges under a tree.

Clint;

Looks like a dual-port (dp) to me. Dual port means that each head has two intake holes - one going to each cylinder.

The stock carby would be a Solex 34pict3. If it was mine, and I basically wanted a daily driver, that's the way I'd go.

Ok, it had the Solex 34pict3 on it. So it is dual port. It has headers on it with the hide away exhaust. If I was to go bigger with the carb how big could I go? And what to I have to do to make it fit? What do I get to come off of the intake holes? Is there a web page maybe that could tell me more about this? :shock:
