| Well my stock solex 28 finaly took a dive after many years of faithfull service. So I got a solex 30 off of a 67 and now it runs fine except for I needed to take the 12v wire from the coil and put it on a port under the choke. So now my choke doesnt have power. I was just going to run another wire from the coil to the choke...but it this the right way? none of my other vws have a carb that needs 2 wires. Is this how all you 67 guys have your carb set up? |

From the early sixties (I don't know the exact year) any beetle carb has two wires coming to it. Both should deliver +6 or +12 volts, depending on the year and type of the bug. One wire is for the choke, the other one is for the "idle cut-off valve". There should be a wire coming from the bobine + connection, then splitting in two wires going to the carb.
Your '63 beetle is a 6 volt type , so you might have a problem using a 12 volt carb.

| It was 6v but I converted it...I fixed it now...I took a look at a 12v setup and copyed it...the 6v must just have the one wire going to it. |

| Easiest way to sire that is to get a spade connecter that has two or more prongs for the + side of the coil and make a small jumper wire from the choke ,to idle seleinoid,then to the coil on the + side. |
