|
|
Hi,
I've been all over my rebuilt 2.0 Type4 engine, to try to solve this puzzle. It backfires through the carbs.
It's a stock 2.0 engine, with 2 double Webers. Im running a 009 distributor with only centrifugal advancing. I have set the timing static.
The engine has hydraulic lifters, which I have adjusted to the best of my abilities.
Any pointers as to where to begin?
Rgds, Henrik |

Where did you set the timing? The 009 has a narrow acceleration curve as it's really meant for industrial applications. It should be set at about 30-32 BTDC at 3000 rpm, letting timing at idle fall where it may. However, around 15 degrees BTDC at static time should show improvement as a starting point.
If you drive it this way listen closely for pinking and adjust timing down accordingly till you can time it properly ASAP. _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

what Tram said. Lean mixtures can cause this too. Start with Tram's advice and use a timing light. None of this static crap other than getting it to run and then immediately putting a timing light on it. _________________ “Most people don’t know what they’re doing, and a lot of them are really good at it.” - George Carlin |

check the plug wire routing.
I've screwed the wire routing on rebuilt VW engines at least 1/2 dozen times.: \
always backfire through the carbs, sometimes the filters fly off & bonk me in the
head. |

Unless you dual carbs are correctly synchronized and the linkage is working correctly, you can expect some popping from the engine. _________________ Lead Mechanic: San Diego Air and Space Museum

Webers will do this when cold and it's more pronounced/noticeable on colder days. Within 2-3 mins of start it subsides. _________________ 1972 Westy Hardtop/Type-4 2056cc
