| VW never offered Weber/s as stock. They originally came with Solex. |

| Weber ICT's and baby Dellorto FRD's are comparable to one another as far as performance and reliability. The ICT parts are easier to find (jets too), where as the Dellorto FRD parts are scarce. It probably makes the most sense to run whichever is in better condition, or if one has the correct jets for that engine already. Personally, I'd take the Dells, but both are good carbs. |

What's wrong with the ICT's? Why not run them and enjoy the fact you can get parts more easily for them? Swapping carbs won't make a damn bit of difference, unless you know there is a problem with one set and not the other set. Sort of like trading your old 1/2 ton long bed Chevy truck for the same damn thing, but Ford's version.
If you're looking for improvement, selling both sets of carbs and getting BIGGER (IDF or DRLA series) carbs would be something you would notice (performance wise). Being that the engine is stock, I'd leave it alone unless your ICT's are worn out or leaking. It's temporary for starters, and a rail is probably not your primary mode of transportation anyways.
There's no need to feel dumb, everyone on this forum is...we just have different degrees of dumbness, making some of us less dumber-er and others more dumber-er. :lol: |
