The carbs are known as Weber DFV 228 . They were sold by Claudes Buggies
in the '70 or so. Parts are almost impossible to find. I know from looking for the past 2yrs. |

Parts are availabe in Brazil. It appears as though this carb was used on many different models in South America. Im sure if you do a search on Google "DFV 228" you will find some distributers, Hope your Portuguese or Spanish is fluent!! Im currently waiting for a reply to see if they will ship to Montreal Canada  |

All,
Some links would be great! These Brazilian Webers made it to far flung continents (particularly the SOLEX Pict bolt on replacements) and a reliable source for ANY parts (other than EMPI basic kits) would be welcome!!
Regards

| Are these carbs any good? Other than parts being obsolete, are they easy to tune? I'm more interested in economy than power. I have 2 sets, a dual port pair on cast steel vw/audi manifolds and a singleport pair on CB manifolds. Just wondering if I should invest time into them or go with an ict or frd set up. What are these Brazilian carbs worth? |

| I've located an old (circa 1981) Hot VWs installation article about these carburetors, if anyone is interested in further information on these carbs. I have a pair that I'm hoping to dry out on a 1600 I plan to put together. The set I have are very clean and in great shape. |

Suprised to see this post resurected. I ran them for a while on a 2L T4 that I put in my Squareback. They are actually a very cheap carb. with not a lot of adjustability. They have a leather cup, plunger style accel pump and trying to find different jets for them are non exisetent. I acutually ended up with two sets and built one good set from the two. However, I was not very happy with them. I tried drilling the jets and playing with the accel pump, but could never get them to work right. I ended up switching to a set of baby webbers and have not looked back. I lost a little bit of top end, but the driveability more then made up for the loss. If you want mine pm me, I will sell them for cheap.

I'd read somewhere that they share the same type of jets with either Solex cars or the Progressive carbs, but have not been able to verify this for myself? It would make sense them to share jets with another type of carb, as I just can't imagine such an odd beast being that unique from the cost perspective at the manufacturing level. |

| http://loja.banner-link.com.br/loja.asp?Loja_id=1469&Pedido_Id= I think by the time you bought kits and paid for shipping you could have a new set of carbs. Do a search on 228 dfv in this section and there are 8 or 9 threads on the little carbs. Think the kits are like $70 each. |

| I looked around that Brazilian Weber page and used Google translate and you can buy that little DFV 228 rebuilt for US. $640. or a kit for US. $141. It was a fun little set back in 1980. Think I paid all of $100 for the kit way back when. There used to be other jets from CB. back then. Hate to see what the brazilian guys charge for jets in today's money. |

Which month in 1981, did Hot VW's have installation article on the Webers?

They have had about 15 articles on installations since 1981. If you go to the HVW web site I think they have a tech article listings for back issues.
