my baby dells', let me show you them (with a twist)

[type3square]

ok. i was sick of the stupid weber progressive on the liquid cooled vdub so i cut up some old manifolds i had laying around.

im having a little trouble tuning them. as expected they ran awesome on my old square, but in the new application they run way to rich. can someone explain witch jets are witch?

thanks in advance (ps the whoretex sucks for carb help)

[beetleboy58]

wow....uh, engine cc? Valve sizes? What vents and jets in those carbs?

[shegel]

well i cant really help you. but i like the way it looks.

specs:

motor: 1.8 sohc 11:1 compression, 41MM intake valves, 37mm exhausts

and here are the jets

i hope this makes sence..

[mharney]

The 45s are idle jets
The 50s are pump jets
The 170s are air correction jets
The 128s are main jets

You need to plug those vacuum ports.

Rich where.. low speed circuit or in main circuit?

awesome thanks for the info. i got her to run way better. found out i had the timing way to far advanced. I backed it off to around 4-5 degrees btdc. runs way better.

once i get to driving her (still gotta figure out throttle linkage) ill report back with how it runs.

video of her running soon, takes forever to upload video's

ok runs rich in the main circuit. i finally got to drive her today and it spits, sputters, back fires and spits back through the carbs. what jets should i be lookin to order?

seems to run A++ at idle

[mharney]

Spitting up through the carb is lean. What size venturis? Did you set the floats correctly?

[type3square]

when i look down the carb i can see a 27 stamped on what appears to me the main venturi.

[mharney]

At what throttle position can you get it to sneeze up through the carbs? If early in the throttle your idle circuit is a little lean.. if you get about 1/3 of the way open before it acts up it is either float settings or main jets, or some of both.

If it is later in the pedal, you might want to try a slightly larger main jet.. like a 135 or so. Make sure your timing is right too. Timing being off will cause a lot of stuff like this.

And set your floats.

And make sure you don't have vacuum leaks.

And stuff.

haha i should just buy the dang book shouldnt i?
